"The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished".
- Deng Ming-Dao
The Worm Moon is named for the earthworms that begin to reappear as the soil thaws, signaling the return of spring. It marks a time of awakening, when the earth stirs back to life and the natural world begins to shift from stillness to movement.
Spiritually, the Worm Moon represents renewal, resilience, and the quiet strength found in change. It encourages us to emerge from our own hibernation, to shed the old and make space for growth.
In this painting, the Worm Moon glows with earthy energy—an emblem of transformation, subtle power, and nature’s steady, unstoppable rhythm.
