What can I do but rave about my oldest and dearest LJ friend?
You first captured my attention with your intelligence, your insight, your broad and reverent spiritual perspective, and your skillful writing. I remain enchanted by your sense of humor, your honesty, your integrity, your quirky interests, your passion for making a difference in the world, and your deep caring for your friends.
I am usually a loner. My dreams very seldom involve other people -- but when I make references to that retreat center I want us to open together, I'm serious. You are someone who I would like to work closely with on special projects over an extended period of time. I think that I have a lot to learn from you, and that we have lots and lots and lots more fun to have together and a lot of growing that we could do in each other's company.
I consider myself very fortunate to be your friend.
I love your wonderful complexity: the many different facets of yourself that you share through LJ that make up the unique beauty that is MT: music, religion (in various expressions), sex, writing, birds, family, job. . . All expressed with wit and humor -- and sometimes pain.
Because there is no one else I can imagine sending a story about a hieros gamos set in the original Battlestar Galactica universe. Because you would getit on every level.
Because I feel like you and Christine and I are three peas in a pod: women who care deeply about spirituality and sexuality and scholarship and who refuse to allow other people to define how we express ourselves in any of those areas.
I feel like I don't know you as well as an individual as I would like to -- and that in itself is something of a compliment coming from an introvert like me.
I like your user name and the icon you use, and what it suggests about who you are and what is important to you.
I would like very much to come over to your house and drink tea (or something stronger) and talk until late at night and get to know you better. (godlyperspectiv too!)
I like the fact that you walk your talk. You make your living supporting organizations that are committed to making a difference. You struggle in your relationships sometimes, like all of us, but you always approach your difficulties from a value perspective as well as an emotional one.
You have a deeply caring heart -- and even if you say you have a hard time being open in your offline life, you have always seemed warm and open here on LJ, always willing to empathize, to encourage, to send a hug. And that means a lot to me.
