POETRY & PRAYER

Be water, my friend

~ Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey (2000)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Empty your mind,

be formless, shapeless —

like water.

 

Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup;

You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle;

You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot.

 

Now water can flow or it can crash. 

 

Be water, my friend.
