Object: Being, Absence and Possibility
How is it that something 'can' be something else? either it is or it isn't.
We need not invoke 'being-ness', If we wish to sustain both in a single
image within the framework of 'possibility' we must invent 'being-ness'. But
there can only ever 'be' one thing or another, whether in the realm of
possibility or certainty.

It is because we are not able to observe all at the same time.

err...potential?

either it is or it isn't.

it is this , it can be that...

We need not invoke ,

earnestly solicit or call on a

'being-ness'

POV gradually coming into being

If we wish to sustain both

sustaining what can be and what is?

in a single image

in a mental picture

within the framework of

within a structure of

'possibility'

what can be

we must invent 'being-ness'.

we must create a POV of gradually coming into being

But
there can only ever 'be' one thing or another,

there is either this ( what is)
or that ( what can be)

whether in the realm of
possibility

( what can be)

or certainty.

(what is)
What do you really mean jellybean?
