I find some of my most peaceful moments are spent around my animals when they are sleepy or napping. I have experienced this many times with the sheep. It’s a feeling of deep calm and almost a meditative state.
Recently I found it works with ducks as well. They were all cozied up in front of the house, dozing in the afternoon. As they napped I took a few moments out of my hurried day to watch them. An ease settled in me that I often get from watching moving water at the river.
Just one more gift the farm gives to me. These animals bring hard-work, love and joy into my life. Now I am reminded that if I take time to pay attention to it, they can bring me peace as well.
