The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 76

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this beautiful May morning. While I was meditating this morning my mind bent towards the courage of all the Irish people who are doing such great work in keeping Covid19 at bay and minimised. It is not gone away but we as a nation are doing a great job in all sectors. But now we need courage to restart the economy and get peoples livelihoods and lives back on track. It is difficult for a lot of people to see that this darkness has purpose but when we meditate and pray and close our eyes we will gather a warmth around our hearts that we can share with each other and this warmth can create a spark and sometimes that is all we need – a spark to get us going, to nourish and feed the flame that will cleanse and clear the dark of its weight of festered fear. So from today on feel a new confidence, a confidence that will come alive in all of us and this confidence will lead you up on higher ground where your imagination will learn to engage difficulty as its most rewarding threshold and down through the ages we, the people of Ireland, this beautiful island, have proven that we are always able to find that demand flash of light and bolt of courage to survive any outer attack on our ways and lives. We must always remember to believe that the Irish hunger to survive and belong is at the very heart and core of our nature.

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