The truth of the matter

Well. I have nothing to explain myself. Two months of silence, and here I am, hat in hand. I could say that I ran out of words, or at least words that I felt I could offer the universe. That is true and yet not fully the truth.

Reminds me of Emily Dickinson's poem:

TELL ALL THE TRUTH
Tell all the truth but tell it slant,

Success in circuit lies,

Too bright for our infirm delight

The truth's superb surprise; 



As lightning to the children eased

With explanation kind,

The truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind.

It was a dark and long month of March, for no reason that I can discern other than the inexorable march of time, and my sense of the loss of it. I want it back, all of it.
