And yet what often blurs the lines of distinction --
what suggests less boundary between myself and the world around me
(at least my awareness of less boundary) --
is precisely the passing of time, specifically minor moments.

Maybe that's only when I have a camera in my hand.

The objective and in a sense transcendent (relative to the subject) positing of the world of things has duration at its foundation:
no thing in fact has a separate existence, has a meaning, unless a subsequent time is posited, in view of which it is constituted as an object.
The object is defined as an operative power only if its duration is implicitly understood.

Are limb looseners the opposite of tongue twisters?
I've been thinking about time and objects for a few minutes now, and settling on no responses. I tried! Positing of any kind has duration at its foundation, is what I think. Boundaries would be no more than random alignments if we couldn't observe their behavior.
