The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 256

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 36 of our new lock down. Today I would like to talk to you about reality and something I saw on TV last night. I’m a celebrity get me out of me where people do all kinds of madness with animals, insects etc. and think it is great fun in the middle of a pandemic where people are all struggling to survive. What is wrong with doing a programme about ordinary people, living ordinary lives on an ordinary island? We are extraordinary people doing what we always did in a meaningful, ordinary way. I don’t believe I am a stuck in the mud here but I think and believe and know what it means to be Irish, a people of the land and living in the now. Here’s a thought - if our soul could have known God without and before the world, the world we know today would never have been created for our benefit and enjoyment. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to each other and wear your Thursday smile.
