The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 236

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 16 of our new lock down. The Mindful Farmer Patrick here with you again today. This morning I want to talk to you about place and my place and my place where I live. I firmly believe that a place is a part of the environment that is claimed by feelings. Your feelings for your place and my feelings for my place. That is why I devote the gardens and farm at Ballinwillin House to Mindfulness. Many of us travel all over the world to places of interest, famed places. But when we come home we always say “there is no place like home”, the place you know. Why? Because you have lived there most of your life. We never tire of our natural environment and when you are away all sorts of longings visit you. Sights, sounds, smell, products of home you miss. We must listen to our place when it speaks to us and if we don’t we will just be like a visitor on tour. Nothing can cure the soul like the senses just like nothing can cure the senses but the soul. Have a great, mindful and restful day and looking forward to joining you all on Monday next for my coaching programme. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear your beautiful smile.
