The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 327

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 37 of our latest lock down. When I walk in the gardens in the mornings and then in the fields I say to myself I have much to be grateful for and all that I have and all that I have achieved but even with all this sometimes there is a vacuum in all our lives and we search for something to fill it. Oftentimes what is missing is right there inside and if we rectify in time, see it in time, we can return to who we really are. What stops this? In our work at the present time there is a lot of stress with little or no business but yesterday it seems to have come to a climax when The Mindful Farmer and his super team were subjected to what I call only systematic bullying from a veterinary official but thank God when I spoke with her supervisor I found a person who dealt with me in a kind, compassionate and helpful manner. A person who is true to himself and his vocation. Little does this lovely man know what he really achieved yesterday and I thank God for him and his understanding - he really understood where the shoe was hurting. Isn't it a great pity that more people in authority are not aware of the hurt that is out there at the present time. My wish and prayer for today is that they become attuned and truly awake to what can be a beautiful world and that the day only dawns if we are truly awake and respectful to mankind. Keep up the prayers and send blessings and healings to all who need it from a wounded Mindful Farmer and team - we will continue to smile.
