Patterns And Parts, Illusion and Reality

Patterns and Parts, Illusion and Reality. Like a tree, you can identify it by looking at the pattern of its’ leaf but you can’t describe that particular tree in specifics unless you see it. Same principle in relationships. You know where you probably stand if you can identify the pattern but you can’t describe where you are actually standing / going because you can’t read the other person’s mind / see your future in specifics. Perhaps in some ways we are all living an illusion / pattern and only the part is reality.
