The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary - Day 31

Another beautiful morning, good morning to you all. We had a great day yesterday. We weaned kid goats and put the deer in Johns mountain out to spring pasture and I took away stags as their antlers are growing now and in 6 to 8 weeks time they will be getting dangerous and need to be on the home farm where we have special handling facilities for them.

This morning as I was meditating my own mother came very forward in my thoughts and prayers standing in front of my mind and this old saying to my mind “you only have one mother so patient, kind and true. No other friend in all the world will be the same to you”. Her voice was the first sound I could hear before I could see. Your nearness filled the air, an umbilical garden for all the seeds that dropped into the garden. The longing that followed into our infant hearts. You nutured and fostered us as we grounded our roots that could grow nowhere else. You formed us from depths beneath your heart. You know us inside out. No deeds, no seeds, no works or others could ever erase the depths of your goodness and beauty. Thanks Mam and all Mums. Where and what would we be without you all. Save us. Continue to pray, bless and heal.
