The Immortal Bruce Lee

I remember the day I was told Bruce Lee had died in Hong Kong. I was sullen for a year or so suffering those consequences of his passing in the midst of my extreme fanatical existence. I thought I was going to be like him. Alas, it never came to be. So now in retrospect I remember the man for all he was and all to which he aspired and I only wish that I had really known him in all my poverty of both material wealth and spirit.

Rest in peace.
