The Yin and the Yang of It


Cats have an odd way of answering questions about life. Around the time this photo was taken, I and friends had been introduced to Chinese philosophy. We all thought that the Yin Yang was cool, and used the symbol in many ways.

But no one knew why the Chinese decided on this particular diagram or where the idea came from.

Lo and behold, Saysheen (a seal point siamese) and Bert (a mostly black mutt), now quite grown up and choosy about the company he kept, decided the best way to get through a cold New York winters was to curl up with a good friend and sleep it off.
