The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 66

Good morning everyone once again and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Another beautiful May morning. As I was leaving my morning meditation my mind angled towards what I would be doing before Covid 19 at this time of the morning. I would be going towards the kitchen to help Miriam organise breakfast for our guests. That’s something I really miss at Ballinwillin House Farm – our wonderful guests every morning and we are really looking forward to having them all back once the new normality returns and it will. So what I would like to speak to you about this morning is hospitality, what we Irish once perfected but then it faded. That is my honest opinion, especially during Celtic Tiger times, OK you might say I am being OTT but am I? How many houses today can you walk into without prior announcement? Question answered I think. The hospitality I am going to talk to you about is what we do here at Ballinwillin House and what I was brought up with in West Limerick. The open house. Hospitality is love, it is openness to the unknown and the unfamiliar, it is being open to the complete stranger and to that what frightens us and to what we may not like. It is being prepared to accept people with different views and perceptions because as we all know, people differ in many ways. We can start all enthusiastic but sometimes it is difficult to remain open when we come up against our own insecurities and that is why the spirit of hospitality needs to be cherished, fostered and cultivated. It is well worth it in the long term because as we well know at Ballinwillin House, hospitality, as well as being challenging, is live giving to many great people. True hospitality reaches the inner depths of people and carries across continents. It can be the love that clothes people on their journey homeward. It surrounds them and will never leave their memory, yearning once more to return.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Great to speak to you all again on this beautiful May morning. Last evening when I was doing my final farm walk around before retiring I showed you a live video of a mother just after giving birth to a beautiful red deer calf and she was so protective just like any mother out there, just like you. I firmly believe that a child, or offspring of any species had that extra special bond with its mam. As I watched last evening the proud young mother I began to wonder what were her thoughts? Was she delighted with her new born baby, her blossom? Was she pleased that her babies destiny was sheltered at this peaceful evening time? Was she happy of the secret stillness around Ballinwillin House Farm as a nature reserve? Was she pleased with the tranquillity that a May evening brings, beneath the turmoil of the life we are all enduring during Covid 19. Then I think to myself may my eyes never lose sight of what I experienced on this farm and why and how I have been guided to be here and my sincere wish and prayer for you all out there today is that the light of the world we live in shine through and carry us all home, being true in everything er do, think, feel and say. Shine on, smile on.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 64

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Another beautiful morning. Yesterday as we travelled around on our garden tour we saw the first rose of summer, peace, just after blooming. A young rose just after being planted last year in place of an old mammy rose that died the circle of life. So today I think it is fitting that I talk to you about peace. It is often said that one act of peace can effect peace throughout the world, just as an act of violence can touch us all. Because we are what our actions are, while we are making peace we are becoming and being peaceful and when you see the beauty and the fragrance if this beautiful rose and how it softens your heart and leads and heals you into the days and weeks ahead, that is the wish I have for you all into the future. Think peace, think flowers, think plants, think roses and inhale their fragrance and perfume and you too will come up smelling of roses. I will take a different line from Patrick Pearse when he said “the beautiful of this world hath made me sad” and I understand the circumstance it was quoted in. But, for me “the beauty of this world hath made me glad”. Be careful out there today now that rules have changed about movement, stay with the old rules for as long as you can. Don’t forget to sign in for my Mindfulness session next Monday 25th May. In the meantime, continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 63

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. I was out earlier this morning moving deer to new pasture and it was a beautiful scene. Now we will be doing a garden tour as we usually do on our restful Sundays. So for the next few minutes find a comfortable seat and relax and maybe have a nice cup of tea or coffee and we will all go together on this mindful garden tour and admire the beauty of nature. When the tour is over I would like to talk to you about life today in our new world and living in our new world since Corona virus invaded our land. There is no doubt it is a challenge, a risk and an act of trust by everyone in our environment. Most of us grew up learning unconsciously that planning was a part of our future and our life. Be it at home or at school, the more prepared and careful you were the better you performed, and all this was true, but what is also true is that we can live in the here and now and if we live today fully it prepares us for a good tomorrow. It takes great courage to live today fully with all that is going on now and to fully experience today, its love, no regrets for yesterday and not planning too far ahead to tomorrow. To live fully in the now we must trust. It will be enough because we are exactly where we are supposed to be at this time. Living for the now, today can make us vulnerable but there is a prize – it also brings us great peace and serenity. When we surrender tomorrow in order to live for today we are happier and free. Now look at the garden and at this glowing day and beautiful plants and flowers and say and see what clothes could be more beautiful or sacred. Continue to pray, heal and bless each other.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 62

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Another beautiful day on the farm again. I was out in the fields earlier and we have about 20 baby red deer calves now. They are in full birth time now. It is this time of year I always diary the first calf, the first rose of summer, the first hay cut and so on. It is my nature diary really and my connection with Mother Nature and Mother Earth which runs very deep within my heart and soul and when I wish you good morning and a welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm, it is with a sincerity and meaning that I say so. It is important to notice what is going on around us and it gives us a clear message, when we are not noticing what is around us we are blind to nature. It has no magic for us, we are not fully alive, we are not fully living and very quickly cynicism can replace our sense of surprise. So from today onwards give ear to nature, give eye to nature – it will fill your heart and soul with wonder and excitement. Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and be careful not to lapse into complacency until we win this war against Corona Virus Covid 19.

God bless you all and have a mindful, beautiful day.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 61

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this beautiful morning. Yesterday was a very busy day on the farm and delivering orders to the Neighbour Food markets and I would like to say a huge thank you again to everyone that runs the markets because we would be fully closed without you all! I was thinking this morning on my rounds of the farm “what about the traveller who is not travelling now?”. In the past 20 years people were travelling huge distances across the world for business, for pleasure, for holidays, even for weekends away. But now how do we manage? Every time you leave home another road takes you into a world you were never in before. New strangers, new people, new places, but now when we are cocooning at home we might visit old places that know us well. But do we know much about these places that are so near to us? Are we afraid to visit the dark, strange space that is so easy to travel away from? During this time when we are not travelling, take time to discover more of your hidden life and the urgencies that desire to claim you. May you travel inward in an awakened manner. Do not waste any inner invitations that await you and that may transform your life and those around you. May you travel home to yourself refreshed and live your new life to its fullest. Return to yourself rich and free now that you can balance the gifts of days which you can call your own to yourself.

Continue to pray, heal and bless each other.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 60

Good morning everyone once more and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Another beautiful morning here this morning following a very pleasant and fruitful day on the farm yesterday and then of course the celebration of new life with the birth of our first baby deer calf. It fills my heart with joy. I have been waiting for this moment since last year. The excitement of such a beautiful happening, the pure beauty and simplicity of nature, wild nature and its flow with the seasons, these calves are only born with the rhythm of nature. When the weather is warm the grass and growth and shelter are in total symphony so these beauties can blend in to their new home perfectly. Over the years we as farmers can go around in a whirl of frenzy, often trying to do many things at the same time or thinking one thing and doing another. This is no way to live or work. When you consider what nature expands to create such a beautiful creature like this, it is all in the balance of nature. Anything rushed or forced is not real or whole or even worth while. For such beautiful and wonderful happenings and birthings like this we need patience and time in nature. My hope and prayer for the rest of the month or so when more of these beauties are born, may they bring joy to the hearts of all who will visit to see them and their hearts (the visitors). Hear again the music in the last echoes of the neglected wonders of this world. My heart is so full of joy.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

Before I finish this morning and maybe I should finish with this quotation every morning:- “may I have the courage today to live the life that I would love, to postpone my dream no longer but to do at last what I came here for and waste my heart on fear no more”

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 59

Good morning everyone once again and welcome to Balllinwillin House Farm and Gardens on this beautiful morning. Listening to the news last evening gave me the topic for our conversation this morning. Water, this sacred source that we take for granted. As an island people we are surrounded by water. As a green island we get more than our fair share, yet last night they were talking about scarcity again. I always believed we should pay for water to gain its respect. On the farm we have our own organic wells and we are so thankful to God for that. In my childhood days, the well, the river, the ocean, all played a huge roll in my life. I often think about the persistence of the ocean, the courage of the river, always flowing and falling to the mouth of the ocean. I oftentimes believe that the river does what words would love to do. Keeping itself to itself no matter where it flows with rhythm and elegance, soothing until its music becomes audible. When we are blessing today let us bless the humility and supply of water, its innocence as it flows without thought or abandon, water vehicle and idiom of all the inner voyaging that keeps us alive. Blessed be the water. Blessed be our early mother. I have a huge and divine respect for all water and their wildness and beauty and our lifetime. I could talk and dream forever on the subject but for now continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 58

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm. Today is day 58 in The Mindful Farmers daily diary. Day 58 of lock down on the farm. It is another beautiful morning on the farm and in the gardens. Yesterday I found to be a very gratifying and peaceful day with lots of chats with wonderful people and friends who could be classified as one and one within my heart and yours. Today I am going to talk to you about the heart and as you know, as we say in Ireland, “that person has heart” or “that person has great heart”. I believe the human heart is made for praise, thanksgiving and love. This singular command is engraved in our hearts and whether we really understand this or not matters little, whether we agree or disagree makes no difference. But we know deep down our only joy is in living with a full heart. I cannot understand or comprehend any other kind of heart. We all know that the heart is restless until it finds in thee. So dance my heart, your heart, and dance today and every day with joy. Before I finish today I will be commencing a 3 day Mindfulness Challenge which will begin on May 25th. Details will be announced on The Mindful Farmers Facebook page later in the week. Really looking forward to it. Now, continue to pray, bless and heal each other and let your heart soar.

Regards,

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 57

It is a lovely, bright fresh morning here on the farm but it is extremely cold. I always notice from living at the foothills of the beautiful Galtee mountain that around this time in May we always get a cold spell of weather and maybe it is Mother Natures way of reminding us that She is in charge and she will send the summer on her terms. This morning I am going to talk about who we are, the kind of people we are. This conversation was prompted by one of my followers yesterday. In my experience we learn who we really are at a very young age fostered in the home by parents, community and we also learn who we are from the way others acknowledge, accept and appreciate and believe in us. When we are acknowledged and affirmed our confidence grows. When we are accepted in spite of our limitations, we learn to see those limitations in perspective and not to be upset by them but rather rise above them. Our big challenge in life is to love others and respect others and to encourage them into living to their full potential and into growing to their full beauty. So when I say to you everyday to pray, bless and heal each other and be kind to each other you will do so eventually without even noticing. These beautiful practices will save the world.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 56

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Balllinwillin House Farm. As usual on a restful Sunday morning I will take you on the garden tour so relax and settle in for the next few minutes and try and give yourself more time today to be yourself. Today I am going to talk to you about mindfulness and how I began practising mindfulness and meditation as a child and recovering from a very serious and suspected brain injury. Thankfully all went well and I slowly recovered but there was a lot of trauma in that recovery, fear, worry and above all being beaten and bullied in school because I was seen to be different headgear and a helmet for approximately 12 months. How I dealt with it by meditating on the farm by the river under trees and by dreaming and praying and with the help of a very loving mother and father and work on the land and dreaming about the future, my future, as a farmer albeit in an arcutious route. Sometimes when you are very young love might not be enough and without work ethic, skill, knowledge, it can be a hindrance. Sometimes people can be deeply wounded for various reasons by violence, abuse, depression and many other issues and may need professional help. In my situation o was lucky. I relied on prayer, love and dreams. The reason I am explaining my situation is that it may help people out there and sometimes people don’t have the adequate resources or channels and may need professional help to deal with the messages that spring through their minds on a daily basis. My point here is that it is an essential part of caring to be able to recognise when outside help is need. So, be mindful and watchful of people around you who are near and dear to you, friends, aquaintences, be prepared to help people especially in light of the darkness into light situation. When we  meditate we help our mental well being and it leads us into being mindful which is an all day, every day state of mind. So today, I ask for you to search for peace, joy and love and if you are not finding it immediately, pray for it and it will come.  Have a lovely Sunday.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 55

Good morning once again and welcome back to Ballinwillin House Farm. This morning when I talk to you I want you to get as comfortable and relaxed as you can, possibly find a nice quiet place, plant your feet firmly on the ground and close your eyes if you wish to do so. Yesterday I received a lovely message from Cathy regarding my favourite place and the beautiful old yew tree, taxus baccata. If this graceful old tree could talk and tell us what it has seen, if it could only talk! But this tree lives a life just like ourselves, busy everyday growing and striving to stay alive as it is attacked from all sides and all elements. From the moment it falls onto the ground as a seed anywhere, it may live for 1000 years but it must compete every second for water, nutrients, light and space and fend off cold, heat, drought, flooding and a host of parasites and predators of all kinds - the list is endless.I think we have it easy so that is what this old tree is saying firstly is that our life, your life “aint so bad!”

But what I believe is most important is what this tree doesn’t say that is important to me. It is, and all these trees, are my sounding boards. What I mean here is that since I was a young boy my parents instilled in me the importance of confidentially and all through my life I believe if you are told something in confidence it must die with you. It is an inner respect. That is the most important message I feel when I face this tree everyday. But there are many more messages but I wont go into them today. But as I face this beauty now I thank it for supporting me and my family with beautiful oxygen for my lifetime.

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm on day 54. yesterday was a very busy day delivering to the Neighour Food markets and meeting all the fabulous people involved both hosts and suppliers and delivering around to the markets with sustainable organic venison, wild boar and goat meat gives me great pleasure and feeling that we are delivering healthy organic food to people who order our food. It makes a big difference to us and our survival and the survival of our wonderful co-workers. Today I would like to talk to you about the beauty I saw on the roads yesterday. Trees, shrubs, flowers, rivers, animals in the fields. There is even beauty in the weeds if we take time to look closely at them. What we have learned during these 54 days is that we don’t have to do everything. We don’t have to be the fastest or the most efficient. We don’t have to win or even participate in the rat race. What we have a duty to be is ourselves, what we were uniquely created to be. We must learn what our gifts are and we must reach out to everybody with joy and love, blessings and healings. So we must never loose out on an opportunity to admire the beauty on this earth, Mother Earth. This beauty is Gods handwriting “so picture it!”.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm. I must confess that yesterday was the first day that I really felt stressed out and we all know now about the saga with RTÉ and Donegal fake news. Even though I have been practising mindfulness for over 50 years, when you are attacked and the family is attacked and the very core of who you are and what you have achieved with your business, it causes so much stress it could kill and this is not said lightly. At times yesterday my heart was pounding so much I had to go to the meditation garden several times, more than I could count to recover. I thought fake news was so far away it could never affect Ireland and that it was an American phenomenon but alas it is alive and well in Ireland. Now that is enough of that and I am healing and that is what I am going to speak to you about this morning. First I would like to thank all the people, there were hundreds, who called, text and supported us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Your support was huge and heart warming and we feel blessed with healing and support. When you receive a word of support it is like a circle of light drawn around you to protect, strengthen and heal you and you can feel yourself coming out and emerging from the trenches like a constant flow of emergence and the belief that healing is travelling through your body like the breath and following the breath it is peaceful. When we send healing to people we help them go beyond their present frontiers and their problems and a window opens presenting a bright blue sky. I urge you all to rediscover your power to heal. I know yesterday I was that soldier and I thank you all for digging me out of that dark trench.

Continue to pray,  bless and heal each other.

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballnwillin House Farm once again. Anther beautiful morning on the farm but The Mindful Farmer has had to use all of his mindfulness techniques to bear after I heard the news last night that the first wild boar were born in Donegal last week since 800 years ago. Now, nearly the whole country knows that we have been farming wild boar in Ireland since 1995 and before that in the UK and Hungary. RTÉ hadn’t done their homework here even though they have been on the farm several times filming them but anyway that’s where the mindfulness comes in. The rest of the family had heard the early news bulletin and were trying to figure out how to break the news to me and when they did I got an initial shock, but then I thought “how am I going to break the news to Biffo and Lulu about this and the storm and controversy their Grandma and Grandad caused when they first arrived in Ireland on December 6th 1995 making real history but enough of that. Our wild boar at Ballinwillin House Farm are part of the family now with many pictures on the Hall of Fame honoring them and likewise the deer and goats and all the animals bring me joy, farming and meeting them daily. I learn a lot from animals just being who they are. They live nearer to the earth and deeper within the earths soil. These wild animals know the world in a way we never will. We seldom manage to be where we are but they are always looking out from the here and now. I would now this morning, and day 52 of lock down on the farm, I would like to rest in the beauty of their being and in their company, feel the earth breathing with us all. Thank you my friends, my beautiful comrades, my deer, my wild boar, my goats, my hens.

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, another beautiful, earthy morning. I must say I enjoyed another great days work on the farm yesterday just tidying up around areas that had been neglected over the winter period and the stormy spring. I am so lucky I inherited a great work ethic from both my parents  and the saying back home when someone arrived on to the farm was always “God bless the work and God bless all here”. We now cherish these lovely words and we must go back to using them again with a warm and sincere heart. They also said that “the beauty of your soul shines through in your work and how you approach it. The light shown through in your work should also bring warmth to those who walk with you and around you.” Don’t let your work over exhaust you, it should release refreshment, inspiration and excitement to you and when your days work is done with satisfaction may the evening find you gracious and fulfilled and you can enter the night blessed, sheltered and protected. May your soul calm, console and renew you. It is important we all enjoy our work and following on from that enjoyment we will rest easy. What a wonderful gift it is to be able to rest easy.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 50

Good afternoon everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm. Another beautiful morning on the farm and in the garden. I firmly believe that the life at Ballinwillin House Farm is very conducive to practicing mindfulness in normal life but now especially during Covid19. Today is day 50 and earlier I did my Gratitude Meditation and then I thought about day 50 and the following thoughts came to mind:-

Am I half way there? On a journey to nowhere,

 with no lamp at my feet, can I trust who I meet?

 I thank God for the farm and pray we all come to no harm.

 To be born is to be chosen, so never let our hearts be frozen.

The Mindful Farmer, Patrick

But it is hard to believe that we survive, we struggle on at day 50. The earthquake that has lasted 50 days has really hit us and rocked our beautiful island. It has done the same to every other country - no where has escaped this massive tremor. It has brought misery, death and disaster. But it has also brought good news everywhere, acts of kindness, humanity, community. It will renew our earth, our world, that I am confident of. We now need an attitude of faith and prayer to see that the spirit is hovering over all this chaos and that new life is coming forth, and soon. We must rejoice in this suffering at our own personal level because we know that deep down suffering produces perseverance, produces character, hope and love.

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm to another beautiful Sunday morning where we will go for a little tour of the garden and see what beautiful new flowers we have to see this week and also the ones who have given us such joy but are fading reminding us that we cannot smile all the time either but we could be constant. It is always nice to speak to you in the morning stillness while the earth is fresh with glistening dew. I always feel that the morning air has more penetrating strength than any other time of the day. It is like getting freshly made bread, it lights a flame with the dew of hope. Now this morning we have seen all the lovely plants and trees but to truly see something we must look at it for a long time. It is not just good enough to passively say “I have seen this beautiful garden”. We must be the things we see, we must get to know that tree, that flower, look at its colour until its red or pink or blue becomes as real as you can hear it. Imagine the world within the buds, blossoms, leaves and flowers. We must take our time and touch the very peace they come from. If you love nature then why are you asleep? Have a beautiful, restful Sunday. I feel a lovely, mindful retreat coming on soon at Ballinwillin House Farm. It seems the perfect thing to look forward to once we are back to normal.

Continue to pray for normality, continue to bless and heal each other

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm. Another glorious morning here and my orchestra of bird song is serenading me as usual. Today I would like to talk to you about the month of May. My Mam always loved May. She used to say that May brings great joy. She also used to say “now that the freshness of spring is slowly giving way to the beauty of early summer at Ballinwillin House Farm.” A new beauty appears almost daily filling everywhere with colour, flowers open, leaves unfurl and all the trees begin to put on their “summer clothes”. Each day brings something new, the farms and the gardens are busy with the surge of all types of growth. What we have to be careful of is that we are not too busy in the garden or the farm and to enjoy natures beauty and abundance. Take time out to sit, stare, meditate for a while. Enjoy the beauty and hear the murmur of Mother Natures heart. It is also important in this month to tune in to the beauty of our own lives and to discover the joy there is in loving and grateful hearts. The wonder of the month of May will never be lacking in this world of ours. What may be lacking is wonderment!

Continue to pray for the end of this virus. Continue to observe all the rules. Continue to bless and heal each other and keep your heart smiling.

Have a lovely May Day

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 47

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm, a beautiful morning once again. This morning I would like to talk to you about the following three issues:- belonging, simplicity and happiness and the way these thoughts came to me as as follows. Earlier this morning after my meditation and a few hours farm work I came in for my breakfast. Miriam had made a fresh brown soda bread and I cooked a few wild boar rashers, some wild boar pudding, wild boar sausages and venison sausages. I just had a hankering for a good fry up and some fresh eggs I had collected from the hens earlier. It brought me back to my early childhood in West Limerick when my father and I would be out and about very early on the farm and then we would arrive in starving and Mam would have a beautiful breakfast all ready with all the home made foods just like what I am having this morning, all home made and from our organic farm. I feel nostalgic and proud and grateful for having learned all these skills from my parents who worked morning, noon and night that we might have a better life, but did we? We have made huge advances in technology, transport, aviation etc. This so called commercial edge of progress has cut away a huge region of human tissue and webbing that held us in togetherness with each other. The result is we have fallen out of belonging, abandoned our simplicity and sacrificed our happiness. That is why my heart reaches back to my childhood this morning. It makes me so happy to re live those days as I and we are now doing on the farm. It is a wonderful feeling when the two hearts meet - the one of the child in West Limerick and the one of a senior aged farmer in North Cork. It is a beautiful feeling, so beautiful that I can even re live the old smells of the farm, the meadows, the farmyard and the kitchen and the re loved home of happiness and plenty and now re live them this morning at Ballinwillin House. I feel that all this is un-lived in me will blossom into the future an that is the wish I have for all of you this morning and into the future. Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and keep smiling.
