The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 311

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 21 of our latest lock down. Last evening I received word that a friend of mine had taken seriously ill and this was a great shock as this person was a dear and ernest friend for years. A friendship over the years, over the travel, over the fields of time, laughter at the table and stories told, and stories recalled. Now is the time when many of our people are seriously ill or in hospital with Covid. We pray that they will keep faith with their minds and bodies as the holy sanctuaries that they are and that this night inflicted wound will gradually heal with the light and freedom of dawn. Nothing before has made us so isolated and lost. May we all have the wisdom to see inside illness and why it comes to challenge our society and may we have the resolve to trust, the resolve to love and may our senses be windows of wonder and our strong minds be steel to our spirit and soul. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
