The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 170

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 65 out of lock down. Today is the beginning of a new month and my favourite month for many reasons and I will explain why over the coming 30 days. Firstly, I always associate it with the harvest, the fruits of the farm and garden and it always reminds me of my place in harmony with nature and the universe. For the past six months of the Covid19 era I have really enjoyed the garden and farm here at Ballinwillin House. There were times when it was tough, barren, empty and silent and we had 8 days of storms and outrageous damage but now in the calm of September we are sowing seeds of joy again. Seeds of beauty, love, happiness and full of hope and courage. We will learn to grow from this six months experience, we will joy, we will harvest, we will heal mentally and psychologically but we must observe with reverence the inner correctedness  between the garden, the harvest and the September of our life and we must join in and be part of the garden of the universe, the creators garden. So today, continue with deep prayer. Send blessings and healing to each other and be bursting with September joy and hope and harvest – it can make the world and wear a September smile.
