The supersize edition of Lauren Baker's beloved Auric Moon: a full moon surrounded by a hand-drawn constellation, hand-embellished with diamond dust that catches the light and scatters it like stardust across the surface. Evoking a love so deep and infinite that its ripples bounce through space, to the farthest reaches of the universe, celebrating profound connections with loved ones and the ability to open your heart to access cosmic universal energy. My dad used to say this to me when I was a little girl, and it never gets old. So how much are we talking? In one year, the human heart generates enough energy to drive a truck 7,300 miles. Over a lifetime, the heart generates energy enough to drive a truck 511,000 miles. The distance of the Earth from the moon is approximately 238,855 miles; to the moon and back, 477,710 miles. Therefore, when you say you love a person to the moon and back, you love this person with all the blood your heart has pumped, your entire life.
