Moon on Water

Moonlight on Water

These days, the first spring full moon showed itself unusually big and bright on a very clear sky. It was a so-called Super Moon – the moon’s course had led it close to earth precisely at the lunar phase of full moon. A coincidence that can lead to extraordinary high waves in the ocean, spring tides.

The gravitation fields of the moon, sun and earth are affecting water’s behaviour. Their changing positions and distance from each other lead to a rhythmic movement. By flowing, swashing, amassing waves and maritime tides, water follows the effect of interacting gravitation fields.

But not only the huge masses of water in oceans are moved, but also the water within plants responds to the moon’s course, influencing their organic structure and growth. Sowing and harvesting according to lunar phases shows better results than ignoring them. Taking in account the lunar calendar when cutting trees influences the wood’s efficiency and functionality as either construction timber or firewood (Prof. Ernst Zürcher, ETH Zürich). We can profit a lot by learning about these connections and correspondences.

I have been engaged in water for several years now – and I must confess that due to my interest in this element my world view has started to change. Fluidity, connectivity, resonance, balance are no mere terms any more, but qualities I observe with amazement. I truly think that observing water offers a great way of learning. Step by step, I am approaching a deeper understanding of the connections and rules of the universe we live in. Water is not only an object of observation, but can be a teacher in a deeper sense.
