I totally *get* Rose as Harmony, perhaps not as a driving life purpose, but certainly as a source of inspiring action.
Some people who hear the word "harmony" might be thinking smoochy sweet light-hearted, let's-everybody-just-get-along, breaking out into song, Hello Kitty harmony. Clearly that is not Rose, although there is probably a little Hello Kitty buried deeply (really,
really deeply) within her soul.
I see Rose as harmony in the sense that what she's up to is developing, coordinating and integrating the skill and talent of bringing together disparate elements into unity of the highest good for all. That includes feeling good, aesthetic pleasure, moral integrity, and very bold personal growth. And I don't think she's interested in doing this in a clunky, clumsy way -- no, Rose is a woman who wants to teach herself and the world to dance. It's a serious dance, yes, but also a sexy, vital dance, like the Polynesians who dance before and after battle. It's a celebration, but also a ritual and a conduction of power.
And I realize that might not be how Wikipedia describes "harmony."
