Essence

In essence, I mean, essentially, what the core of the matter is at heart; its base, its foundation, the building blocks, the atoms, the structural scheme, the vision - this is what the author saw, the director imagined, the primary, the gist. The kernel, the acorn, the core, the old block off of which you are a chip; these are at the center of the thing, the hearth of the home, the distribution point, the throttling choke point, the lens. Eau de something, I know not what, je ne sais quoi, ineffable, inestimable; the being which must be perceived or perceiving, fruit of the womb, fruit of the loom, fruit of our labors, fruit of change. And yet it changes not, is permanent, persistent, eternal, unending, the absolute, standing behind and beneath all things; it sustains, supports, includes, is the whole of the part, is completely untouched, like a sail or a day or both in essence.
