The dissolution of the house.

"Though doors and windows may be cut to make a house, the essence of the house is the emptiness within it."
~Lao Tzu









When it burns, it is as though a lid comes off a jar full of fireflies.

There is talk of taking down an important oak tree in order to replace the house that burned. But the tree itself encloses a houselike emptiness. To use its site for a house would be nothing comes from nothing.
