My Journey into the Unwavering State of Witness Consciousness In the boundless journey of spiritual exploration, some moments etch themselves into the canvas of our being, becoming permanent markers that illuminate our path with unwavering light. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared a glimpse into a pivotal moment in my journey – a permanent shift into the state of…

This morning, Katie and I cooked breakfast together in our new kitchen. We completely remodeled the cottage into the perfect home for our family. I'm amazed at what Katie dreamed up and the home that we've created together.

We ate breakfast together in the dining room, and talked about the Finchwick Oversized Crop Fair later today. My aubergine didn't quite grow in time, so we're both baking pies to enter in the competition.

Before we left for the fair, we took care of the farm chores. Since Katie is a chef, she loves working in the garden and growing the best ingredients. I'm teaching her all of the tricks my parents showed me and she's taking to it like a duck to water!

The fair finally started and Katie and I entered our pies. I've had the pleasure of tasting all of her test pies, so I can safely say that while mine was good, hers was perfect.

I looked at Katie and thought about all of the years I had been coming to the Finchwick Fairs. I thought about bringing our children here with her. I wasn’t planning on it, but I found myself going down on one knee and pulling out Mum’s engagement ring I’ve kept with me ever since she passed.

Katie,

One year and three months ago, I was dating an amazing woman. I was absolutely gone on her. I adored every single moment we spent together. And I was so excited about our future. She’d met my family, and I wanted to invite her to spend the night soon. I thought maybe, just maybe, if she can stand my smelly feet and the roosters, I could ask her to stay forever. But then my Dad died. And Uncle Colm. Then Mum, Patrick, and Cecelia. You never left my side. You did end up staying over lots of nights, and you held me together through them. You kept me and the farm going, and helped my family through everything. I love you more than I ever thought possible. You bring color to every inch of my life. I can’t live another day without the sound of your laugh in the kitchen, and hearing you hum in the garden. We’ve built the perfect home together, and I want to fill it with love and laughter and children. Be my wife, Katie. Grow old with me, will you?

For some crazy reason, she said yes! I can't believe that she loves me as much as I love her. I'm the luckiest man in the world.

As ever, our family was over in the Gnome's Arms, and we ran over to tell them.
