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 61
I was thinking this morning on my rounds of the farm “what about the traveller who is not travelling now?”. In the past 20 years people were travelling huge distances across the world for business, for pleasure, for holidays, even for weekends away. But now how do we manage?
Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this beautiful morning. Yesterday was a very busy day on the farm and delivering orders to the Neighbour Food markets and I would like to say a huge thank you again to everyone that runs the markets because we would be fully closed without you all! I was thinking this morning on my rounds of the farm “what about the traveller who is not travelling now?”. In the past 20 years people were travelling huge distances across the world for business, for pleasure, for holidays, even for weekends away. But now how do we manage? Every time you leave home another road takes you into a world you were never in before. New strangers, new people, new places, but now when we are cocooning at home we might visit old places that know us well. But do we know much about these places that are so near to us? Are we afraid to visit the dark, strange space that is so easy to travel away from? During this time when we are not travelling, take time to discover more of your hidden life and the urgencies that desire to claim you. May you travel inward in an awakened manner. Do not waste any inner invitations that await you and that may transform your life and those around you. May you travel home to yourself refreshed and live your new life to its fullest. Return to yourself rich and free now that you can balance the gifts of days which you can call your own to yourself.
Continue to pray, heal and bless each other.
