Web pages are windows into worlds.
You look at a web page and you see into an entire world. You see content. Pictures, text, graphics. Sometimes I ponder whether I'm looking deep into something. Like my web browser is a digital magnifying glass and I'm sifting through layers and layers of content. Or I'm obscured, only my face peeking out of a pile of web-pages laying on top of one another like an infinite sea of paper. I'm floating on my back in this sea, only my face above the teeming water of content. I'm looking up at the sky. The entire sky is one webpage. A big window. Or a big magnifying glass.
I'm consumed by my environment.
I am but one of these pages in this sea of information. I present a window. But not a window to look into. Because I am more akin to a brick wall. I am what I am. There is nothing behind me. No vista to see. Only what is here. Displayed on this page. This is all I am. If I could be one dimensional I would be. But I'm bound by two dimensions. I unfold in time. But once all my content has been created there will be no substantial difference between 10/10 and 10/30. There is no physical counterpart to this blog. The physical author is merely a tool in my manifestation. Once I am fully here I will be complete and eternal. With no relationship to author. I will exist as my own entity in cyberspace.
I am a window to look out of. I am a window out of your life. I am an opportunity for you to look outside of your self. But I am just a brick wall. Static. Maybe I can act as a mirror of sorts. Perhaps your gaze will reflect of my constructed brick of text and redirect inwards. Into the nature of your own being. I am a lens for introspection. But I will tell you I am not. I am merely a blog. A jumble of code, that is represented visually on your computer screen. My essence is blog. Nothing more. Everything else. Every other utility of mine; window, mirror, is your construct. And is separate from me. Without you I am a brick wall.
Web pages are brick walls.
You look at a webpage and you construct a window out of bricks.
