Sometimes, when I grasp a concept or >get an idea, it can take me up to 10 minutes to put it into words. Pictures, Sounds, Feeling are the mode of the Subconcious, that's what it works in, and since creativity is a function of the subconcious that's why you have to "translate" to words which are used by the concious mind.
