The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 1261

Good morning everyone and welcome. Last evening I was watching TV and Christy Moore was singing the song "when the clock winds down". It is a song about nature and the damage we are doing to Mother Nature. We need a wild nature just as our ancestors knew. A ling in the song went, a young child asking an old man "what did you do?" A profound question. We all need to do more and a few days ago before my Grandson JJ left for Melbourne he was out on the farm with me feeding the animals, watching them and explaining to him about organic farming, the special grasses, the native trees, picking the blackberries, gathering the kindling to keep GrandPat warm over the winter. All beautiful memories and I hope it inspired this little young man of four years to respect and enjoy nature and as we moved homeward he smelt the perfume of the roses and joyfully watched the butterflies float from buddleia to buddleia and then I explained this was the butterfly bush, especially for butterflies and then we walked homeward to enjoy a supper with food from the farm. We walked together trusting hand in hand. I know he gets it and will continue what his dad and I have begun. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace, hope and love to all and wear your Tuesday smile.
