Thanks for your interesting description, Thomas.

I spent the past several weeks doing no imagestreaming. When I looked back at my notes, I found an interesting pattern.

Some of the metaphors in my imagestreams are so constant as to become unnoticeable (if that makes any sense). For example, if _every_ imagestream begins with an image of a body of water, the water just becomes this given. Of course, the water image itself was significant.

And your "Forest for the trees" comment was interesting. Perhaps that is an answer to your own question?
