The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 102

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm on day 102 of lock down on the farm, gardens and B+B. Today is St. Johns Day. On Monday next, June 29th, we hope to open up again for business on a limited manner until we see how things go and during that week I will be spending a lot of my time on retreat on the farm and in the gardens where I plan to retreat and reconnect with nature. I will also be opening up for you to come on retreat and join with me to celebrate and join in thanksgiving for our survival during this very trying time. In one way it is easy to retreat in lock down because you don’t have much distractions but it is another challenge to go on retreat when you are free to do many other things in your life. So now let us call for a new life awakening and to call out for a new freedom so that your heart may know the patience that can draw infinity from our limitations. May we allow time to give way to a deeper generosity so that from this day forward we will always feel a new spring time and may all that holds you fall from its hungry ledge into the second surge of your heart.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
