Description
the frame contains the ideait gives an edge
sets the boundary
tells an idiot where the image ends and the wall begins
contains the panes of glass in a window
suggests the concept of inside and outside
sets the limit of fantasy against reality
the frame doesn't really need to be there
the frame is real what goes in it is not entirely
it is a wall that holds an image captive
it suggests a place where the viewer can view but not enter
it holds a piece of time
it is a formality, almost ritualistic
it sets the form
it has changed from grandiose to simplistic
we are not bound by it
it may be akin to the body but not to the mind or the spirit
the frame is infinite
is it important?
it is just a box
sometimes the box is more interesting than what is inside it
it is the concept of emptiness and fullness
is the frame half empty or half full
i could go on and on about this
and i will
but not here
not inside this frame
this window
i am free
i am not bound by it
technology is so bound by frames
each device
each package of information
so very very limited
expand
don't let it rule you
it's just a tool
a very limited one
but it will contain you
if you let it

"tells an idiot where the image ends and the wall begins"... now you get me confused. Even more so now that I see that your image is exactly 2600x2600

words are not bound by the framework of sense or reason
where does the truth end and the lie begin?

Words can indeed be the truth and the lie.

in order to find the truth in any book
you have to read between the lines
i have always read between the lines and have found an element of truth in everything i have read
to find truth in an image
we must look beyond the frame
the frame is a lie
there is no edge, no boundary to truth
there is no truth in omission
truth lies only in the complete whole
without exception
there is truth in every word
not in the words of a few
and no is capable of speaking every word
truth changes
with every new word that is spoken
truth is.... but then only was
and is no longer

So you left while lines between the paragraphs for me to find more easily the truth? But I found it between the first and the second, and then between the second and the third, and by then, it had moved to the next paragraph.
No-one has the truth, but a lot of people have frame for us.

truth only exists for the moment
and when the moment is gone
that's when a new truth begins
but every moment of truth
only lasts for a moment of time
so small that it can't be measured
time frames
like the frames of a cinema film
which make so little sense
when viewed as single fragments of a scene
but in reality we only exist in the frame that we are viewing at the moment
we have left the previous frame and not yet entered the next
~~~~~
no one has a frame for us
they have frames for any suitable person
we just make ourselves available and comfortable there
we fill the role
the frame is a space
for someone to fill
it's like we say, "look after my seat, i will be back soon, don't let anyone else take it"
we are so possessive about space
it must be instinctive, the territorial sense
