The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary 317
Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 27 of our latest lock down. This morning the neighbourhood is cold with the winter freeze but soon we will experience the death of winter and the birth of spring, but also this morning in Ballinwillin we mourn the death and passing of Joe Mulcahy our neighbour, a legend in the music business and a founding member of the famous Maurice Mulcahy Band. A band that gave huge enjoyment to thousands of people worldwide. This morning our prayers are with his family, friends and neighbours. Now destiny calls Joe to a place of music where his trumpet will sound again for all our spiritual enjoyment, where his heart will always remain generous, all heavenly doors will open to his musical light as you now quietly befriend your death and you have no need to fear. You are among your own orchestra in the big band with your pure white suit you are now equal to your destiny and nearer to Earths heart. Rest in peace Joe. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 215
Last night, and most nights during Autumn, Winter and Spring we always have a blazing warm fire in the living room and I always say it is another personality in the room and I always like to praise the presence of fire. For centuries we have sat around the heart of the fireplace. We have dreamed into it. We have watched the flames spurt forth light reminding us that our flame also burns from within and it is from within we all find our own home, our own happiness that helps us breathe a new urgency into our life.
Welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on another beautiful morning here and day 10 into our new lock down. It is as if the light and the beauty of the weather is nursing and nourishing us forward into positivity and warmth. Last night, and most nights during Autumn, Winter and Spring we always have a blazing warm fire in the living room and I always say it is another personality in the room and I always like to praise the presence of fire. For centuries we have sat around the heart of the fireplace. We have dreamed into it. We have watched the flames spurt forth light reminding us that our flame also burns from within and it is from within we all find our own home, our own happiness that helps us breathe a new urgency into our life. It is a very short time from spark to flame and this time will pass too, this time of suffering that we are enduring now but breathe in the embers of this pandemic. We will rediscover our drive, our ambitions, our passion. We will find the courage to cause our wonderful lives to flow again and the flame of who we are meant to be will glow ever brightly. If you will, have a fire tonight or if not light a candle and dream into it for a brighter and glowing future. Continue to pray, and send blessings and healings to each other and wear your sunny smile.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 212
It is a truly beautiful day here on the farm and during meditation earlier when I was sitting still and resting I thought how beautiful it is being alone with oneself hand here on the edge of the gardens I can certainly say I am living joyfully and at peace and I sense the birds and the animals sense this also.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm on day 7 of our new lock down. It is a truly beautiful day here on the farm and during meditation earlier when I was sitting still and resting I thought how beautiful it is being alone with oneself hand here on the edge of the gardens I can certainly say I am living joyfully and at peace and I sense the birds and the animals sense this also. There is great relaxation and happiness in not wanting, in not being something or someone and in not going somewhere. When I sit in silence here and gaze at the beautiful flowers and trees and the coloured leaves falling back to Mother Earth or the clouds moving slowly across a tumbled sky. In there moments I am released from the dependence on the future and I have no longings to be other than where I am and who I am meant to be. So why not try to do likewise today? I assure you it is very nourishing for your mind and body. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and be mindful and careful and above all else, smile on the world.
