Rae, I know you to be both powerful and gentle - you’ve already proved it possible. Let’s separate earned authority from the power of position. Then we might hypothesize that authority is earned by persistence, patience, and persuasion. You’re pretty damn good at all three! Love you.
This is absolutely beautiful (I mean aside from the awful dude you went to lunch with). We need more gentle power. More redwood trees too.
Thanks so much Ema!

Aw thank you so much <3
Ugh. This lunch story. I don't like it. I'm actually glad you did this for his own sake...
Limited grace or gentleness on his side. Gentle and powerful -- definitely a desired combo.
Oh god it haunts me :-$
