The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 1138

Good morning everyone and welcome. The past month has been a lot of travelling across the length and breath of Ireland and sympathising with families and friends of loved ones who have passed on to their heavenly homes. In all of these cases it was celebrating long and well lived lives. Yesterday I was in Leitrim sympathising with a very dear, loyal and trusted friend who lost her brother last week at 88 years. At that age it is always a celebration of life but at the same time hard on his nearest and friends. What always comes to mind on such long drives is how these people lived their lives, where they were born, went to school, travelled, their livelihoods, their retirement and now death. While I am thinking all this as I traverse the beautiful countryside of ours it is as if they are travelling with me and in my mind and appreciating the outstanding beauty all around. It is as if they are saying we are at peace and that their stillness is wed to nature. The ocean and rivers flow fiercely in sequence, the trees hold firm in the wind, the dark grey mountains stand still in respect and the breath of magic light over all of us awakens colour all around. I could go on and on about this amazing feeling in my heart and I know for sure that this beauty will sleep easily in all their hearts. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace, hope and love to all and wear your Friday smile.
