There's a poignancy to that latter bit: "if only" you'd had that explanation sooner!"…but now if you show it to someone who doesn't understand, they don't get it; and if you show it to someone who does understand, they say "well, right, of course."

Anyway, I had that feeling reading chapter 4 of Design Unbound, which articulates the seemingly-ineffable posture of design as fluid exchange between designer and context, which has taken years to (begin to) internalize. Wish I'd seen this earlier but prolly wouldn't have helped.

I feel this way about books. When I get really excited about a book, I know it’s because it was the right time to read it. It’s a magic feeling. It’s also why most book recommendations (even for great books) are irrelevant unless timing is right.
