Oh, this was a exciting to follow your decoding method, D.L.
Also LOVE decoding messages, getting hit by the "aha" moments. Gives me butterflies, which tells me I am on the right track. Higher Self is jumping for joy:)
A great reminder to interpret symbols with your suggestion, free associate—I haven't done this in awhile and definitely works. When I am typing I think I have made spelling errors, only to notice that the words are exactly as they should be.
