Shrine To The Moon

I love to see moon-inspired art.... when lady luna takes on the role of muse, she shines her light of inspiration deep into our hearts. Barry has been working with some moon-muse-magic, creating this gorgeous 'Shrine to the Moon' ...

 His idea was to add a metal leaf & offering bowl to this personal shrine... his thoughts reminded me of this...
            "a falling leaf touches the moon's reflection.... and my own" ~horiuchi

... and i can envision sitting i silent prayer with this shrine, connecting with moon energy... especially at new moon when she is not visible in our skies... i think of the "meet me at the waters edge" practice that ....began with the gulf oil spill of offering healing energy to the waters of earth at new moon.... perhaps filling the offering bowl with a little water... no doubt everyone can visualize their own way of connecting....

If you clicked that link you will have seen that there was some discussion about the type of bowl to compete the piece. Barry created three palm-sized bowls to choose from, and it looks like this is going to be the finished shrine... you can read all about it here...

I just adore this....

You might also like to look at Barry's earlier assembly filled with lunar inspiration.... 'Moon Gate'.
Yes, the moon as muse is a very powerful force indeed!
