By the time you reach 77 years of age, you will have experienced one thousand moon cycles.

As we live these years, how often do we stop and think about the presence of the moon on our lives and on the earth? How often do we take stock of where we are in those 1,000 cycles?

To honor the inspirational force that the moon has on my life, I began an art project called The Journey of 1,000 Moons. The goal is simple: to make one thousand handmade moon faces. Each moon face is cast in gypsum, 3 inches in diameter, and hand painted.

On every journey there is a path, and along the path there are points of inspiration, illumination, and revelation. But you cannot discover these unless you take the journey.

For me, the process of making one thousand moons is a working meditation. Each moon reminds me that, while each of our individual lives is a brief flash of illumination – only 1000 moons — the energetic dance between the moon and the earth has endured for millions of years.

I sell both individual moon faces and framed moon faces from “The Journey of 1000 Moons” series. ($40.00 for an individual moon, $80.00 for a framed moon. Pics will be up soon).
