The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 300

Good evening everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 10 of our latest lock down. The Mindful Farmer is coming to you a little later than usual today as I am recuperating from some health tests and I am just back from hospital. It is that time of year when my brilliant minder and doctor Clint insists on these tests and particularly with my back problems at present. Now, onwards and upwards. When I was lying there and thinking and meditation, one issue that kept coming into my mind within the breathing was "how important it is to have a big heart" I believe it is the most important thing in life. The heart has more chambers than is medically explained. It subdivides to cover all areas of emotion and from sunrise to sunset it ebbs and flows with our river of life and during this time I hope it will flow alongside and inside my aging body reminding me to be gentle with myself and gradually I will return to my real and full self, learning a new respect for all hearts and the joy that dwells within when we rest and time is slow. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your Saturday smile.
