MOLINO day together
Meeting Claire, and seeing the work that had been done bravely, with such a love of the earth, acknowledging its beauty and abundance, with such trust of humankind and generosity for it, marked a milestone in my life.
It obliges us to look at the land in a new way, to see new possibilities too.
As a family, we already took the decision to live nearer nature, changing our city lives for more space.
But new sprouts of ideas emerge with our visit to the Molino.
Going much further than growing seeds, helping the soil to regenerate.
The general idea is more about living together. Taking care of the land, the land answering back with generosity, which is to be spread among a community of people. A spiral of gifts getting larger and larger. Not just us.
How are we exactly expecting all that to work ? I dont know – Yet. But generosity is something our world needs, as much as fresh and mature fruits.
Nature is our teacher :
allowing us to be confident in the abundance of gifts, when care and love are given. Enabling us to open ourselves to a larger community, creating new bonds, jumping over our too many invisible barriers, that we´ve settled to “protect” ourselves. There is another way of protecting ourselves :
sharing, counting on each other.

If I dare dream, I keep in the deep of my soul the Molino of Peter and Claire as an example of being to become… but the path is still long !
However, more than the many fruits we came back with, I cherish the example given of a dream which has become true. It belongs to us to dare ours and enter the spiral !
Let´s see how the dream develops itself!
