Nibbling at the edge of a mystery, trying to reach the core of some truth. I can taste what seems like progress but can’t see the fruit, so have no idea how much longer it will take.
Or if I’m even nibbling in the right direction. Or if I’ve inadvertently switched fruits, some of them rotten.
Sometimes I get sick from the rotten ones and it takes a while to rid myself of the pathogens. Over time I become better at sniffing out the better fruit.
Hopefully.
