Locomotion

Dear Doctor,

Although these days you prefer to be called by your beautiful first name, Rogelio because you say it reminds you of your mother, I just cant seem to break the habit. Maybe it is because of the admiration I have for you, the respect you have gained from me and so many others, or that it still just seems so fitting for a man of your stature. I have personally felt the kindness and generosity offered by you and know it extends far beyond my reach. You always have the most precious offering available, time, for anyone who cares to indulge with you. You are skilled in making people feel cared for, making people feel safe, and making people feel seen. I continue to learn so much from you, in how you carry yourself, your consistent ability to show up, and how you treat others. There is no Locomotion without you, the whole community stands on the example that you set for us all.

“An offering from a sage and a king is more than silver & gold. It is a seed of hope, a bud of faith. Now let he who has watered, be watered.”

- Chadwick Boseman

It is an honor to know you, to travel with you, to spend time with you. Let you continue to be blessed with many good years to come.

Cheers to you, Doctor! And Happiest of Birthdays to you on your 87th year around the Sun!

With all my love,

Mike & the whole Locomotion Community
