I first began to think of framing with all of the snow that has been coming.
As I sat in class and looked out the window I focused on a group of snowflakes and noticed that they don't just flow straight down, some appear to go up, some just drift for awhile.
I started to think of the earth as a frame. Beginning with precipitation, there obviously has to be clouds. These clouds do not form at the edge of the earth, but in the sky. When there are clouds, the frame of the earth almost 'shrinks.' We forget about the gap that there is between the clouds and the edge of the earth, and the frame changes.
Within this gap is a separate frame, a forgotten frame. This frame e x t e n d s to the edge of the earth into a much more vast frame: the universe.
The point of 'outer space' is that we have yet to discover where it goes. Our solar system exists in our galaxies, but are there other galaxies? Is the frame of outer space really just empty space that never ends?
For those of you that believe in heaven or hell, then where do those exist? Within the earth? Between the earth and outer space?
Opinions please?

I'm curous about your use of the plural form of galaxy --our galaxies; Our solar system exists in our galaxies.
In what sense do they belong to us?
Do you mean all the galaxies that have been observed?
Is our observation of them part of what them ours?
Growing up, my father purchased a Golden book for me during our walks that followed my trips to church with my mother.
These Golden books were usually some nonfiction, science-themes book, including one called The Universe. (that book is so old now, I can't find an image of it online).
Anyway, we searched through the pages, and found nothing, within the range of access of the most powerful telescopes and microscopes of the time
--the inner universe was explored as well, in one of those Golden books--
we found nothing that confirmed a perceivable physicality for the heaven or hell I was informed about as my two options for my ultimate --and permanent destination.
So my father attempted to counteract what i was learning in church.
I hadn't yet learned to read I was so young when these walks began.
