Rosalie
you are always a part of me

I love you silly
I love your everything

Rosalie,
we have stood by each other,
for each other for so long..
in creativity, in challenge, in play
in every aspect of life
we've come out beautifully for one another.

Rosalie,
you do not judge
you are fiercely loyal
you have been my friend when i was the underdog
and my same friend when i've been on top of my world.

you are the sound of crinoline rustling
under the trees at the fair,
the shape of a goofy, hilarious dance
You have been present for me at every turn

You are home to me.

When someone expects the best from you, you end up giving your best to the world.
you support and believe in me in a way that helps me support and believe in
myself.
You bring out my best
I have your back.

And i am commited
to upholding the integrety of our friendship
to offering my time, my concentration, my witnessing attention.
to keep your secrets and give you mine to hold
to support your choices unflinchingly
to challenge, to discern, to tell the truth.

i am commited to be all things you ask, rosalie
without knowing exactly what may come
like a jewel faceted by experiences
the shape of our future is yet uncut.
and still i hold you like the gem that you are
and will be.

happy anniversary, mon amie

the moments have been few, but the highlight would be at burningman, morning of the white procession, rosalie and i went to pee together, i was being silly and wrote my name on the playa... when rosalie stood up there was a perfect map of africa. she wrote the shape of her ancestry. anyone who can be that silly and that profound at the same time is a superhero in my eyes.

My love new in ways I have never known. . .

Rosalia, a queen and a princess and wisest of fools amongst roses far, wide, and rising. . . . be thankful of the incredible gifts she shares, whether you know they are being given or you are caught unaware, whether the gift may be the heart-pounding sight of her movement or a gift of her fury or a gift of her words. And her smile.

Rosalie inspires me to be who I am. She has taught me to appreciate the darkness as much as the light. With her I discover terrain that my dreams dream of.

The gift of her love is of the highest order – when she lets you into her vast, sweet, precious heart, know that you will always find home there.

Rosalie is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES, best ever, Rose-hole (she loves to hate that) goodness, cwayzee cozy silly GORGEOUS fun, pure and consistently exciting. I love my Rosel pretty much the most. She is one of the few who has been with me at my best and worst both, and her love and support is unwavering. If you ever have the good fortune to encounter this creature in the flesh, feel lucky. You have been blessed.

This train runs so quiet, says Rosalie..- maybe it isnt this train that is moving.. hmmm.. well around Rosalie let me tell you the trains are crashing, speeding..racing all in the delight of her beauty, the ways she moves, her talent.. grace... intelligence.. What delight she is....and.. ohh... jeeez...let me tell you i have probably also witnessed the most creepiest side of this silly human.. ohhh.. yes i have seen her bruised up, bitemarked, blackeyed..blooddrippin.. real beaten' up.. rugh times sometimes..and yet..she sooo got IT....
I love this girl !!

To know Rosalie, (the most brilliantly assembled human being ever) is to know what it is to be in love with life.

Since I first laid eyes on her, my Copper Colored Gal, I have been transfixed by the amazing arrangemement of beauty and brains, creativity and chaos, delicacy and durability, movement and stillness, power and preciousnessness.

I love you so dearly Rosalie, and am always honored to be in your presence. Your perfection is like a net cast over everything around you, bringing to you the greatest manifestations of life, some great, some not so great, but YOU are the part of life that makes all of us happy that we have chosen not only life, but THIS life, because we get to have YOU in our world.

I am so happy that I have chosen a life that has you in it.

i just think she's the bees knees!
