"Today, I realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration — that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"

Yang's always had,

a place to go.

To be reflective,

along side his tree.

Majestic, lively green,

not one fruit of knowledge,

falls down to the floor of ignorance.

Where the snake slithers in.

But since yin's departure,

he couldn't resist knocking them down.

Surrendering to gravity...

...feet barely touching the ground,

swaying...

leafless branches don't give way.

Winter has come to stay.
