The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 147

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 42 out of lock down on this beautiful Sunday morning.it is mornings like this that we really appreciate living on the land and being able to meditate and relax in these beautiful gardens and remain close to Mother Earth. Today I would like to talk to you about the old days and the old ways of my life in West Limerick and this was spurred on in my early morning meditation it was a simple life, simple acts of everyday life, rising and going to rest, the lighting of candles, the keeping in of the embers at night to rekindle the fire in the morning. Other aspects of our simple life like sowing, reaping, harvesting, buying and selling and of course life and death. These were all part of our Celtic ritual and the circle of life. Life continuously flows and when we arise each morning and pull back the curtains or open the window, we let in Gods light, air and sun in the form of prayer. All we have to do is allow these gifts to uplift our minds, hearts, souls and spirits and we must always be mindful that if we raise our thoughts to heaven we will always have clear days because the sun always shines above the clouds. So on this beautiful Sunday let todays sun lift your spirits to warm your health of mind and body. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that beautiful smile.
