No idea can be perfectly aligned with reality, but ideas of reality are constrained by reality and include an awareness of their own shortfall. The same is true for ideas about the context of ideas. Out of such components a dialectical logic necessarily follows. This logic should not be mistaken for an idea, it evokes the sense of being without expressing it. It is absurd that anything as finitely incidental as an individual mind could have a direct relation to the reality that underlies it, but it is equally absurd that it should have no relation at all - what else could it be 'about'? You hare only the subject of a single idea which you are never able to fully form. All of your attempts circle around it from many different directions. It is only a single idea and imperfect in the way of all ideas, nevertheless all value is in faithfulness to this incomplete insight. More than anything else, thinking is a form of worship.
