I have used the female image to symbolize humanities natural link to the cycles of the Moon, as Woman herself through her natural cycle understands. If we are to realign ourselves to natural time and eliminate some dysfunctionality from ourselves as a species we must let in the light by creating a window in our cave wall in which to view the Heavens. Deep within our cells resides one of the most ancient memories of our species, regardless of race or creed - an eternity of nights viewing the splendor and majesty of the Heavens. Arising from this we soon began to realize that there were Thirteen Moons of 28 days each within one cycle of the Earth around the Sun. It is so simple and harmonious. 

In the outer border of the painting are 52 blue vesica piscis symbolizing the 52 complete seven day weeks within this cycle. The 12 outer circles symbolize our consciousness while following a primitive 12 month calendar. The large inner circle, the 13th symbolizes what happens to our Consciousness upon the realization and incorporation into our lives of the reality of following a 13 moon - 28 day calendar. The 12 hands on the cave wall symbolize Man's interference in the natural order of God's Divine Creation by imposing a false 12 month calendar thus creating disharmony for our Species and ultimately the entire Planet.

We have Thirteen complete cycles each year with one extra day - the Day out of Time - for Reflection, Forgiveness of ourselves and others (including those that know and those that know not what they do) and renewal ready for the New Year.

Thanks to Sister Rose for her modeling.
