The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 814

Good morning and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. Early on this wet Summer morning as I went out the back door of the house Marley, our beautiful Golden Retriever was waiting patiently for me. Obviously I wasn't giving him attention and he started barking profusely and started wagging his tail like the propeller of a helicopter. Then I got his message, stopped what I was doing, gave him his usual rubbing down and hug and then love and peace was witnessed by both of us. Marley was giving me a clear message. I was not noticing him apparently. When we are not noticing what is around us we are blind to the beauty and love, we are not truly alive and very often cynicism can replace our sense of surprise. We must always have an ear and an eye for the beauty created by the divine. So today, see that beauty and hear its sound and your soul will come alive. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace and hope to all who need it and wear your Wednesday smile.
