The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 101

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 101 of lock down. It is difficult to believe that we are entering another era of 100 days and I hope and pray we as a nation can progress out of this pandemic in a mindful and healthy manner. Well, things are very different at Ballinwillin House today as our two beautiful grandchildren Ada and JJ left us yesterday evening for their home in Leixlip as their crèche has re-opened and Mammy and Daddy are back at work. We miss them awfully but they, like all of us, must have their own life but having them for the past 100 days was fabulous and beautiful. For all of us it is a new beginning. Each new beginning always directs us towards that new frontier and that is why we must reach for guidance, blessings and prayer. In our nervousness and confusion, fear and uncertainty we call upon invisible structures of original kindness to come to our assistance and open pathways of possibilities by refreshing and activating in us our invisible and untapped potential. But when we bless and pray, we work from a place of inner vision clearer than our hearts and brighter than our minds. It is then that we can “harvest” the wisdom and ability that is dormant in us and from today onwards we can harvest the new and hidden gifts in us all. So continue to pray for a new beginning for us all and bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
