I met Mr. Lee when he came to host bible study at a group home in Germantown (City in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
I was a fifteen year old orphan who had a lot of questions regarding the Book of Job. And he was bright-eyed, super animated and down to earth. Mr. Lee made talking about Christianity and God much easier than it’d previously been for me. He was a teacher and very good at meeting people where they were and helping them find the way to where they belonged.
He was a poet, a musician, a carpenter, a comedian, a writer, and lived by what I like to call ‘The Book of Lee’. He was definitely unconventional and didn’t fit into the traditional sizes that religion often comes in.
ETHEREALEE is one of many things that we collaborated on. We wrote music, shared movie scripts and stage play ideas, and even started to talk about creating an artist development center. I even taught him how to record his own vocals a few years before he passed away.
I pray that this poetry and prayer book fulfills the purpose for which it was first inspired. No one knows how far and wide a thing is meant to travel and so we experience, learn, share and channel in order to play our parts in the orchestra of life.
