Ok, there are various mathematician's blogs, but this one is pretty up front with how she thinks.

https://www.math3ma.com

I particularly appreciate her ability to illustrate her thought processes with diagrams.

For examples, I was particularly fond of

https://www.math3ma.com/blog/the-yoneda-perspective

and

https://www.math3ma.com/blog/at-the-interface-of-algebra-and-statistics

I liked the illustrations of more basic stuff as well.

For another less, um, colorful reference, I'd direct you to "Drawing Theories Apart", by David Kaiser.

https://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Theories-Apart-Dispersion-Diagrams/dp/0226422674

Haven't gone into it much, and I doubt it addresses your question as much as the other links, 

but the brilliant.org folks look interesting.  

Enjoy!

I find the idea behind the article interesting and, when I have time, will follow up trying to find 'real' stuff to read. But, if any of you are feeling generous and would supply me with some pointers or directions; I will really appreciate it.
