The tone is a human, a human is a being, and a being, is a tone. The tone is a being. When one human sings, they create a tone. A tone that carries all tones within. When two humans sing, they create two tones. Two tones that carry all tones within. They are making love, They are making a harmony, and the harmony is a child. The union of two, the child carries all the vibrations of one, and all of the other. Every harmony carries all harmonies within. The child is one, The child is twice one, The child is half of each, and infinitely more than none. The harmony is a child, and the child sings. The child is human, and the human grows. When a human sings they create a tone. This tone carries all tones within. The tone is a being. The being is one, The being is twice one, The being is half of each, and infinitely more than none. Each being carries all beings within. When the being sings, it creates a tone, this tone carries all tones within.

Mise en Abîme, Existence as a Symphony of Infinitely Nested Matryoshka Dolls
The tone is a human, a human is a being, and a being, is a tone. The tone is a being. When one human sings, they create a tone. A tone that carries all tones within. When two humans sing, they create two tones. Two tones that carry all tones within. They are making love, They are making a harmony, and the harmony is a child. The union of two, the child carries all the vibrations of one, and all of the other. Every harmony carries all harmonies within. The child is one, The child is twice one, The child is half of each, and infinitely more than none. The harmony is a child, and the child sings. The child is human, and the human grows. When a human sings they create a tone. This tone carries all tones within. The tone is a being. The being is one, The being is twice one, The being is half of each, and infinitely more than none. Each being carries all beings within. When the being sings, it creates a tone, this tone carries all tones within.
Each tone sounded carries all tones within itself. As the fundamental tone vibrates, so do the proportional overtones it creates. An entire string vibrates. Within that length, 1/2 the string vibrates, 1/3 vibrates, 1/4, 1/5, etc... Divided into infinity. (You can find the harmonics on a guitar string in these fractions.) This is the shared source of all living beings. This is the harmonic series. This is birth and death. This is one single tone. This is you and me. This is Om. Birth, crescendo, diminuendo, death. This is breath.
