Very deep question Wolf
Well for me i would say it is to give the power of music and the lightness and humour of living to others by teaching, performing and by showing people and my
students the passion i feel.
They always say "i want to play like you Lee" and my response is always the same : you must feel the drum, you must become the drum, and above all
you must Intend it.
So one can be in complete solitude and still have a reason to be here. Like the simple yet complex connection to the spirit is in itself a
full complete life.
For me though i have more to give now than just music I have met a new woman with kids from a previous marriage and i love giving to them for no other reason
than just to be giving.
I mean i was like changin diapers the other day Me changin diapers.... Yuck! but it didnt feel yuck! it felt great. You have to understand
that i have spent alot of time just creating music and this is wonderful but this girl Vanessa and her 2 kids has opened up a whole new way of viewing life.
So to put it simple just creating music and teaching it is not enough for me. The beauty of our relationship is that she knows full well that i will not become
mr domestick and that music is my medataion. If i lost that i would be really unhappy but at the same time being alone (not in love) all the time is to me just
plain wierd.
Fear has may faces and to fear Love is pretty weak, I have been alone crying, hurting feeling dark and lost, so i feel once you have gone through that kind of
stuff you have the right to love again even though you may go through all the pain again if it does not work out.
So live life with a sense of fun and detachment and dont be afaid to give and care about people.
You dont need to explain it cuz most people dont get it or they may misunderstand you and think you are selfish or nuts.
