The Write Word Escapes Me

for a moment

What is the word for this moment?

We see it. We know it. We understand what it is and what it feels like.

Then we try to describe it. We are asked to write it down for others. Someone is asking what it was all about. Try to talk about it.

The brain processes it, but a big chunk of it is in the part of the brain that is different from where language is processed.

So we draw it. We make music. We cook. We touch. We use light and color and sounds and textures and tastes and smells to transmit it.
