all up in arms

Herself has me all riled and indignant over this well-intentioned but to me patronizing email, sic:
So happy abt yr godmother. A great blessing.
The meeting [with HH in Dharamsala] goes well. Amazing what ‘plastic’ creatures we are. Even nurturing changes our genes. And our brains, the hipocampus, produces neurons throughout our life. More to come.
I am well and peaceful. And you sound very good indeed in spite of the ‘noise’ of suffering that makes life rich. I hope we will work closely on our book when I get home. Am grateful that you see what needs to happen here.
I tnk roatsu will be fine this year with the tanto taking the lead. I am looking forward to your presence and our shared practice. I feel happy re our mutual understanding.
Innocuous enough I suppose, but—”Am grateful that you see what needs to happen here”?! And the wooden simulated affection of “I feel happy re our mutual understanding”?! Wow, bowl me over with the love; ordain me now, baby! At least she didn’t say “pls.”
