New moon

Darkness is one of the primal fears of mankind. We fear what we cannot see, cannot understand. The new moon is the darkest time in the cycle of sun and moon. And yet, if you want to see the stars, they are clearer on a new moon night, without interfering light from the moon. It is through looking into darkness that we can find hidden things.
Darkness is a transition that enables new beginnings, just as the night makes the new morning possible, and the new moon the next cycle of the moon.
