Art + Song Drop: Grist for the Mill
An Array of Cosmic Art and Song
Grist for the Mill is an original hand-drawn artwork chosen to accompany the release of this song by the same name. Though created earlier, this surreal mirrored being found new resonance under the Scorpio Full Moon, when the song debuted—each reflecting the same inner state of surrender, witnessing, and subtle transformation.
The art evokes duality and intimacy: two eye-beings in silent exchange, one dripping with emotion, the other charged with symbolic voltage. Together, they speak a language of presence under pressure—capturing the paradox of what it means to soften while being refined.
Released during a time of personal and cosmic depth, the pairing of this artwork and the song offers a felt reflection of that energetic field. It is not a literal illustration, but an echo. A code.
These lyrics, from the song released in tandem with the artwork, reflect the central prayer of this offering: that the soul may be refined without being erased. That transformation may arrive as rhythm—not rupture.
🎵 Grist for the Mill (Lyrics)
Grist for the Mill
Let it be simple
Let it be still
Let it be easy
Like grist for the mill
So many knowing
Coming and going
Everyone’s showing
The pain of this growing
So let it be simple (rest baby ooh)
Let it be still
Let it be easy (oohs)
Like grist for the mill
The future is glowing
Time never slowing
Are you forgoing
Or just deeply stowing
Let it be simple (rest baby ooh)
Let it be still
Let it be easy (oohs)
Like grist for the mill
The Alchemy of Dual Perception
The eyes in this piece reflect one of the central themes in a forthcoming framework called Array Astrology: dual perception. The soul is both the observer and the observed. Transformation begins when tension between these perspectives becomes conscious. Polarity invites inner dialogue. Integration reveals the larger field.
The Initiatory Role of Pressure
Much like a mill grinds seed into nourishment, pressure can become the catalyst for spiritual growth. The transformation may be painful, but it is not punishment—it is process. This artwork reflects that essential tension: the quiet of simplicity and the storm of becoming held side by side.
Grist for the Mill is now available as a fine art print and energetic portal in the Mystic Quarterly shop, as well as a live track on bandcamp.
