[ WP ] Describe an object within five feet of you in as much detail as possible .

There is a light, bright and multicolored with a million different shapes and intensities, yet no thicker than my finger. It displays much, calling up images of the holiest of saints as easily as summoning the foulest of demons. 
 
 It is a portal, a portal to all that humanity knows and untold spaces devoted to expanding that knowledge in a billion unique ways. It gives voice to the ancient history of the world and form to the dream of what may be. 
 
 Through complex commands given in millions of tiny bolts of lightning it allows communication across vast distances. This communication becomes a life line, a measure of hope when all hope seems lost. It gives that much needed hope even as it shows black deeds that end in suffering and despair for those that witness them. 
 
 Such a fragile thing, so easily disturbed or broken, yet so undeniably powerful for the access it grants. This black framed portal, monitor.
