truth

Often I will fill up pages full of words, tangles of thoughts that go on, then read them and say to myself, too much.  How to fit this into a drop?
That which can be sensed by the skin, or the nose, or seen, heard or tasted, or maybe all of these, and at the same time creates deep emotion, can be distilled and presented simply (not to be confused with easily) as that emotion.  But how?  The enduring challenge, to represent and evoke feeling without the slightest hint of extrapolation, neither adorning nor belaboring -- to separate truth from all its distractors.
