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 192
Well, over the years we have seen many beautiful and amazing experiences on the farm and gardens, from a young deer calf being born to a mother goat giving birth to 3 kids and baby wild boar dancing around the fields to a pheasant resting on the antlers of a red deer stag while he slept and many more but today it was something very different. A beautiful white dove waiting in the yard for us this morning and welcoming us as she held her beautiful, silken head sideways and almost telling us “well it’s time you showed up”.
Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this beautiful September morning and day 87 out of lock down. Well, over the years we have seen many beautiful and amazing experiences on the farm and gardens, from a young deer calf being born to a mother goat giving birth to 3 kids and baby wild boar dancing around the fields to a pheasant resting on the antlers of a red deer stag while he slept and many more but today it was something very different. A beautiful white dove waiting in the yard for us this morning and welcoming us as she held her beautiful, silken head sideways and almost telling us “well it’s time you showed up”. The experience of a dove is very rare and in all my years I haven’t seen such a sight. It symbolises grace, beauty and peace and here she has to be addressing Elaine and Aoife. It also symbolises innocence and femininity but most importantly seeing a dove means you must help others in whatever way you can and always use love and peace in all your interactions. On earth they are intimately aware of their environment and demonstrate a highly developed sense of presence. They are regarded as spiritual messengers and import an inner peace that helps us go about our lives with peace, calm and purpose. What a wonderful example for us all to follow and practise. Let us all embrace the message our Ballinwillin dove has sent to us and pray, bless and heal each other and wear your beautiful smile.
