The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 189

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this very beautiful and sunny Sunday September morning and day 89 out of lock down. Another day for us all to take some time out, rest, go for a mindful walk or do something that relaxes you. Well The Mindful Farmer did such a thing this morning. I went for a beautiful, meditative walk along the seashore over rocks and walls and admiring all the beauty around me until I came to a very special rock formation and I immediately called it my gaze, my gaze where all I roam and looked through this window of sheer beauty and magic. When I look through this magic window do I see part of myself outside? Do I understand it myself? Can I embrace it and turn it into the gift that it is? Yes I can today and because the immediate rock fall all around is grey it reminds me quickly that nothing in the world is black or white but everything like this landscape is made up of grey. I embraced that thought for a while and then as I angled my vision in a different direction through this narrow magic window I see a beautiful tuft of golden and crimson little flowers waving at me and fluttering, and beautiful, and letting me know noddingly that if we can survive here on this rocky out crop we can all survive in our grey, rocky world if we pray, bless and send healing to each other. Wear your Sunday September smile and have a beautiful, mindful and peaceful day.

The Mindful Farmer
