I was reading an interesting article about the moon's effect on the earth and came across this:
"Earth’s moon has helped stabilize our planet so that its axis of rotation stays in the same direction. For this reason, we had much less climatic change than if the Earth had been alone. And this has changed the way life evolved on Earth, allowing for the emergence of more complex multi-cellular organisms compared to a planet where drastic climatic change would allow only small, robust organisms to survive."
The moon has played a pivotal role in the evolution of man. Our systems of knowledge, observation, and activity once hinged upon the phase of the moon. Its interesting to think about what we've left behind by ignoring the phases of the moon, or more appropriately: if its even possible to divorce ourselves from its silent cadence.
