Moon Gate - An Iconic Portal

 The Moon gate is an invitation to move into a sacred or contemplative space.  Especially a moon gate that frames a garden which invites the guest to leave the busy, stressful outside world and segue into something calmer and more contemplative.  It is perpetually open to everyone - not a selective  doorway. The Moon gate often requires the guest to duck down a little or physically and purposefully step over the threshold into the garden.   In Asia, they are a metaphor for a spiritual opening, leaving all else behind and entering an inner space.  This double life a Moon gate offers reminds us to find a way to disconnect from time to time and journey inside to find the answers our heart has been wanting  to know.
