What is a communicable feeling you don't feel very often, but enjoy it when you do?

I think I know what you're talking about. That's a good one. Remember when we were talking about aesthetic metaphor in contemplative systems? Part of that is about trying to use poetry & symbol to point to a sense of well-being (quasi-independent from conditions).
In some traditions, that quality of well-being (even in very uncomfortable situations) is considered to be accessible in an intuitive sort of way, once the person has a sense of it, so then part of the meditator's skill is less about control and more like 'aligning with'.pic.twitter.com/UVXDWZAXLq
