patterns

I understand patterns at a level on which I cannot always articulate. There are times when I would have to ignore a level of nuances and details integral to the pattern's functional capacity, in order to put it into words quickly enough to make sense of it. It's as though I have the ability to comprehend things that actually overload my short-term memory; by the time I articulate one aspect, the rest of the pattern is gone, leaving only a vague, sensory recollection that defies my vocabulary.

It's very frustrating.
