The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 111

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 111 of my daily diary and day 6 out of lockdown. Today I am going to talk to you about what I have seen during meditation this morning and what I have seen on the farm and in the garden. Even the smallest flower or piece of vegetation is a revelation of God but we need to see with open eyes of the heart if we are to read the wind, sand, stars, people, animals and all beneath the first level of appearance. There are many surprises and special gifts to help us all make this transition from the eyes in our head to the eyes of our heart. If we take the time to study anything and to be mindful we can understand and transform any item of beauty. Every weed can become a flower, every grey misty morning can turn into a wonderful sunny afternoon, every wave in the ocean can be the heartbeat of the universe, even when the caterpillar thought his life was over he became a butterfly. All these instances give us a glimpse of the divine that dwells in us all. We need the blessing to see and to understand. So today, take a little time to rest your eyes on your surrounding beauty of the simple things that surround you.

Continue to pray for the nation, continue to send healings and blessings to each other and wear that smile.
