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.

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. I was out earlier this morning moving deer to new pasture and it was a beautiful scene. Now we will be doing a garden tour as we usually do on our restful Sundays. So for the next few minutes find a comfortable seat and relax and maybe have a nice cup of tea or coffee and we will all go together on this mindful garden tour and admire the beauty of nature. When the tour is over I would like to talk to you about life today in our new world and living in our new world since Corona virus invaded our land. There is no doubt it is a challenge, a risk and an act of trust by everyone in our environment. Most of us grew up learning unconsciously that planning was a part of our future and our life. Be it at home or at school, the more prepared and careful you were the better you performed, and all this was true, but what is also true is that we can live in the here and now and if we live today fully it prepares us for a good tomorrow. It takes great courage to live today fully with all that is going on now and to fully experience today, its love, no regrets for yesterday and not planning too far ahead to tomorrow. To live fully in the now we must trust. It will be enough because we are exactly where we are supposed to be at this time. Living for the now, today can make us vulnerable but there is a prize – it also brings us great peace and serenity. When we surrender tomorrow in order to live for today we are happier and free. Now look at the garden and at this glowing day and beautiful plants and flowers and say and see what clothes could be more beautiful or sacred. Continue to pray, heal and bless each other.
