The Dark Moon is a Crone

"The Dark Moon is a Crone" was inspired by a friend's offhand jest of, "I bet you can't make a black quilt". Leigh thought immediately of a dark night at the new moon. Picturing the face of the new moon, Leigh was drawn to the ancient Celtic idea of linking the phases of the moon to the span of a woman's life. 35 inches diameter, copyright 1996(Sold)
"The Dark Moon is a Crone

The Dark Moon is a Crone
Wise, compassionate, practical.
She sings in our blood to the rhythm
of our hearts.
The Lady in the Dark whispers answers
in our dreams: guiding, teaching.
Unless you listen carefully with your whole self
you will not hear Her.
She is our invisible twin, our relentless Mother,
contemplative Grandmother, and ripening egg.
She is our strength, our conviction,
wisdom and creativity.
She is us.
