In certain ways, Lou Reed was seen as the classic rock star, living a life of decadence and debauchery, creating avant-garde art, and even having a Top-40 hit.
Living, experiencing, creating ... everyday
But in many other ways, he was much more than that. A poet, a writer, an artist living his life and experiencing his world, and creating fine art to capture (and present to us) the magnificent experience of life in the world.
It’s called “growing”
All the while, he was primarily a human being, experiencing existence and doing what all living beings do, and what all sentient beings can do with even grander results. “Growing.”
Quote during interview, Lou Reed (@ 1:40) …
Coincidentally, just a few months ago, a fellow Steemer (the talented and creative @hanggggbeeee) had expressed a similar thought.
In her short but excellent bilingual post, she concluded with the pithy and pointed statement“It is called growth.” You can read her timeless wisdom here.
