The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 316

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 26of our latest lock down. Another new Monday, another new week and we are all still coping with our unknown comrade Covid19. It is leading us all into unknown territory and we must find our way by following all the strict guidelines and through trial and error and perseverance. Many of our familiar ways must be left behind for the moment and it is very difficult for everyone. I only have to see the amount of people who make contact daily expressing anxiety and loneliness but we must give ourselves permission to understand that this darkness has some purpose, hidden as it may be at present and gradually it will lead us to the gift that life requires hidden away in the corners of the night. We must endeavor to learn the pain of this suffering believing that a new and forceful confidence will once more come alive and lift us all to a higher ground, our most rewarding threshold. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your Monday smile.
