you've misread me. for clarification, the point above had to do with
my (possible mis-) interpretation of your earlier (to me unclear)

BREAK: Ana's note just came in. Michael -- as you feel so strongly

consistent with, why don't we move at least one strand of the
conversation in the direction Ana suggests -- that you illustrate
some concrete examples using Buber in particular. what do you think?
