Happy to see you back online. I hope that the next step back into “civilization” is not too big a shock.

How very kind of you to keep me aboard in spite of my occasional Devil’s advocacy. I will never lose my respect for your incredible courage which IMO is what has changed you from an idle adventurer into a person who may well assist in changing the world. Well done Roz. May you always live in interesting times.

Roz, I just watched Conrad’s raw footage of your arrival in Tarawa. Awesome. Touching. Loving. What a wonderful greeting from the people of Tarawa and a gracious response from you, both befitting your mission — your statement just happens to form a haiku …

the world thanks you Roz

Like others who have expressed an empty hole in their day during your short absence, I too have missed your daily blog, and hope that we can continue the dialogue with you and new-found friends. Intended or not, you are a catalyst for a community energized around the joy of your adventure and common concerns. Your providing the spark that triggers conversations on your blog is a gift. You honor us with the freedom to express ourselves.

Your universal acceptance and outreach to all with both humor and sincerity are traits that I truly admire. What an eclectic group of minstrels, jesters, poets, healers, potion makers, adventurers, advisers, philosophers, critics, a pawn and a king … whether we praised you or criticized you, we all had one thing in common, and that was your well-being. In that we are united. We cheered and admonished, and you set the strategy and made the choices … good decisions all-in-all.

I have said it before: Everyday I learn something new here. It is a pleasure and an honor to participate. Thank you for bringing Rozlings together around your adventure and your cause. I, for one, am happy and honored to have played a small part in your journey — glad to have made you laugh out loud ;-D

I’ve been moved by your posts but this is the first time tears welled up while reading one. I guess I’ve been too worried and tense to let my emotions show. You are safe and sound! I feel like your success is my success. Well done, Roz, well done!

Hi Roz,
It’s good to see your blogs again. I am sure I speak for a multitude of people when I say I missed them the past week or so. You inspire a feeling of love to everyone. To sum it up briefly, we all admire the person you are. One cannot but have a feeling of love for you, for the sincere way you are making this world a better place. God bless you Roz.

Roz, you’ve touched on something very important and it gave me an idea. Those of us following your journey have indeed become part of a little community. Both the people who post comments, and those who sit on the sidelines and faithfully read them every day. Seeing that we ARE a community, I think we need a proper message forum here on your website, with subcategories and threads. The blog comments are great, but as a community I think we’ve outgrown just this little space for communicating. We could use the forum to discuss and share ideas on environmental issues, your journeys, your upcoming book tour, ocean rowing, etc. I think it would be great for everyone!
