The moon changes its location constantly and it also has different phases. The eight phases of the moon are; "New moon, New crescent, First quarter, New gibbous, Full moon, Old gibbous, Last quarter, and Old crescent." The moon has different phases because it rotates around the earth. The crescents also show how much sunlight is being let through.The different phases of the moon is a symbol of time. Once it's a full moon it goes back to the beginning and starts of as a small crescent again. It does the same thing all the time; Its all about repetition.Time is infinite.
Everyday the moon moves a little bit more than it was the day before. A constant change but so beautiful all the time. Change is something that has to happen and that can not be stopped. Change is good and the moon phases are some examples. I don't really notice the moon phases until a couple of days because no one can really notice a change at first because it takes time.
