Making sense of my data

I am moving my data around, finding themes, adjusting themes, combining, re-combining, aligning, re-aligning data. At times all that information seems impenetrable and then I change a layout or a structure and I can see the outline of something. Patterns and shapes take form. Then I move or readjust and a new picture emerges as if I was looking through a kaleidoscope, but unlike a kaleidoscope some patterns are repeated no matter what I change or from what direction I look, and that is where it gets really interesting.
