The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 381

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 91 of our latest lock down. To be ourselves is the most wonderful feeling and achievement any human being can achieve. Furthermore, when we realise our capacity to be ourselves can be the work of a lifetime and when we think about this carefully and mindfully it is something we can do very well and that nobody else can do for us. When we think about our ancestors, they didn't live according to our modern, implicit psychology but they had implicit intuition and a great wisdom about the deeper rhythms of human belonging, vulnerability, growth and diminishment. I will finish today with a piece from the great author John O'Donoghue which explains implicitly to me about being ourselves. "May the nourishment of the earth be yours. May the clarity of light be yours. May the fluency of the ocean be yours and may the protection of your ancestors be yours." Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile with true joy.
