The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 128

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 23 out of lock down. It is a beautiful Tuesday morning. Well yesterday we began back with our first retreats and it was wonderful to be back healing people and meditating with people and the retreats at Ballinwillin House Farm was the perfect thing to look forward to now that we are back to the now and new normal. The theme for our retreat yesterday was “compassion”. Compassion is not an end in itself but part of our journey in life. We must listen more, judge less, we must loosen our opinion of self and its models and now we must begin to recognise the essence of each person we meet. Compassion gradually becomes an offering. First to those who we are with but also to God. Helping becomes an art of reverence, worship and gratitude. Life can be like a bright torch and we only get to hold it for a brief while but while we hold it our aim must be to make it burn as brightly as possible before we hand it over to the next generation. Retreats will now continue via prior daily/hourly appointments to The Mindful Farmers website. Continue to bless, pray and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
