the willow mill

INTEGRATION

After wandering and wondering at the North Lake, the Red Beach and the Garden of the Moon, the Lover comes back to Earth.

Not with a bang but with flow. The Willow Mill is Earthsee’s oldest enterprise, a living exemplar of harmony between the Elements.

Here, the waters of the North are channeled into a water mill whose ceaseless turning is put to great use. They say the flour from the Mill is ground with the Earth’s own hands.

No work is satisfying or worth the trouble unless it has some of that quality. Of being blessed by the forces of nature, and blessing them in return.

The Lover brings feeling, sensitivity, wholeness and reciprocity to the human world of work.

In most cases, how and why the work is done is more important than that the work is done. Or, the real work is its side effects on those involved.

The Willow Mill is the place to practice competence. Which means, not only being good at something, but knowing that one’s work is feeding something bigger. It feeds self worth. It generates harmony, peace. It gives you and others joy.

This is where the mysterious but essential contribution of the Lover to manifestation, creativity and productivity is most keenly felt, where the water hits the wheel, flow finds form and form finds flow.
