Thank you @gracielaacevedo,
I love that you see the dynamic of power in this. Yes, symbols all over the place. If I want to be economical in my use of words (and I do!), then I have to let symbols work for me. It is delightful when someone sees that. But of course, with your training, no symbol will escape your attention :)
Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes I am a little mischievous when I write--and you saw that.
Hope you are well and that the weekend is peaceful for you.
