The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 41

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm. Another beautiful day on the farm. I was watching The Late Late again last night as all people of my age do and I had a great laugh at the Fleming family from Kerry on the show, they were really having fun dancing in their kitchen and it reminded me a little of my life bit in a more serious and practical side. They provide laughs for people - very important, I provide solace and mindfulness for people as they struggle with Covid19. I was thinking that what I do is the early stages of laughter for people, the baby steps, the inner baby steps. This is a time for you all to be excessively gentle with yourself, we have travelled a long way over fast ground and how Covid has come to take us back. It is trying to take our souls back but this tyranny has not worked in the past and it will not work now. Take refuge in your senses and be prepared for the small miracles that are on the way.

We must draw alongside silence until calmness can claim you. Stay clear of vexed spirits and learn to linger around those with an easing and calm personality.

Gradually we will return to ourselves, we will have learned a new respect for our heart and the joy that dwells deep within a slow soul.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.
