For thousands of years, human beings have looked toward the Moon and recognized something familiar in its changing face.

It grows. It becomes full. It begins to diminish. Eventually, it disappears from our sight, only to begin the cycle again.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons the Moon has played such an important role in spiritual traditions, medicine, agriculture, meditation, and human culture throughout history. Its changing phases remind us of something we sometimes forget: nothing in nature remains in one state forever.
