Is there a name for this feeling?: "At last!! That puts into words something I've slowly understood over years of fumbling in the dark, an understanding I didn't even think was articulable!" (despite, of course, that if you'd read it years earlier, you wouldn't have understood)

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."

You're right—it does feel lonely! Like noticing the beauty in a tree which others either don't perceive or have already taken for granted? And also: my favorite fellow travelers are those who react with "omg that's such a beautiful distillation!!"
