The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 38

Day 38 in lockdown at Ballinwillin House Farm. Good morning to you all. A nice, pleasant morning here on the farm. Yesterday was a day for getting wet and several times at that but all in a days work.

Today is International Mother Earth Day. Now here is a subject near and dear to my heart and I promise not to get too carried away by this heading. But this heading has more meaning than any of us can even try to understand. Do we bless Mother Earth as we walk over her Earths carpet? Do we walk softly and reverently? Do we bless her imagination, her warmth, her patience, her stillness, her nursing ability? Do we thank Mother Earth for the grounding of home? For holding our feet firmly on the catwalk of magnetic energy? Do we salute her sublime stillness that can fill a patient heart? Do we notice the wonder of a seed that with Springs warmth is charged to burst forth and dream unashamedly? Do we acknowledge her kindness and fear her rage and ask for her forgiveness for not listening to her? For when she knocks on the door of our lives she is so silent that her sound is no louder than the beating of your heart.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and today being Mother Earth Day look for a flower, a plant or a tree and say thank you to our Mother of Nature.
