I arrived home late last evening from yet another business trip to a huge amazon.com box filled with this surprise...an incredible gift after a very long week. My immediate experience: beauty, elegance, exquisiteness. While holding and seeing the cover photo, the texture of the book contributed to a sense that I was feeling the earth that Mr. Kravitz is walking on in the cover photo.
My reflections as I devoured this book:
Lenny Kravitz and I are the same age give or take a few years, I've followed his career simply because he's a peer in the age sense (smile). I'm fascinated and drawn to his life, in part, because although we're contemporaries - our lives are so very different. The researcher side of me is ever drawn towards lived experiences - how we construct our life and being out of opportunities and life happenings. It's been fun to watch his life in the media particularly his music and design work. That Mr. Kravitz is a handsome man is like a duh?! statement. And yet, he is. Couple this with his impulse to create music and beautiful designed spaces and I find myself wondering if his beauty is a gift fueling his need and capacity to create. Arts, beauty, and aesthetics stimulate our deep recognition of our humanness elevating us individually and collectively beyond the muck and mire of incivility, hate, and destruction. Is Mr. Kravitz deep sense of this driving his impulse to create? Or does the man simply love beauty, design and excellence? I like the flow of the photos telling the story of Lenny Kravitz, illuminating various aspects of the man - so textured, graceful, and yet gritty simultaneously.
One aspect of his being that drives me crazy is Mr. Kravitz persistent wearing of sun glasses (said as though anyone cares, LOL).Read more ›
