'Cannas Flower and Full Moon' by Theresa Oats


                                                          
The impact the moon has on our planet's life fascinates me, including a new theory that we can credit the moon as the reason we have life on our planet at all.  I've heard that native people say 'Father Sun-Mother Moon'.  If anyone  knows about the beliefs of native peoples regarding the moon or any new science theories regarding it's relationship to life on our planet you are welcome to share them.
