The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 587

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. As Autumn is ending and Winter begins to take its grip on us, The Mindful Farmer is again lighting up the fire in the kitchen. It is a wonderful feeling for our guests and ourselves when you come in from the bleak weather to the magic and warmth of the fire. It is there waiting and welcoming you. It is an ancient presence. We burn turn and fallen wood from the farm. These products come from Mother Earth and carry the memories and dreams of days gone by. It is strange to see the earth burning within the domestic home and it will always remain with me. The image of the hearth as a place of home and a place of warmth, return and a place of peace. We all possess that immer solitude that is bright and warm. Let it burn and shine. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, health and peace to all who need it and wear your smile.
