Description
Lee WayThrough perceived darkness, the opaque veil of fear has humanity blindly clawed
attempting to pull down, or at the very least brush aside those malevolent curtains
without, of course, believing it's possible to even do so, simply doing
all for the sake of not simply being.
From time to time throughout humanity's history have come the torch bearers of truth
any truth, no matter how minuscule in nature, is to the miasma of fear as a flare to the night
They've been called masters, visionaries, geniuses, those who's actions defined their times
those who understand the gift, of giving one back to oneself
They have, do, and always will teach the same thing, in each their own fashion, that greatest
greatest of all truths, That the only time anyone ever needs a teacher
Is to allow them to remember they do /not/ need a teacher.
"Empty your mind." Words of commonality in a time as accepting as this, but words undervalued
Bruce Lee's next words, however, put things into context so cleanly it was as if I had earlier
been attempting nothing less than fitting a square peg in a round hole
"Be Formless....Shapeless....Like water." Be formless.....loose your form. What is a form?
A shape? A definition? An assumption of how something is?
Why is it every time someone succeeds, their heart is filled with equal parts joy and anxiety?
Each change wrought and improvement had are heralded, celebrated, treated as a wondrous
but rare occasion?
Why is becoming something different so difficult?
Form is the shackle we allow ourselves to endure, in order to appreciate the casting off
"Expressing yourself, I mean really expressing yourself fully, now that, my friend....is hard"
Lee's philosophy clarified the deepest issue, reaching into the darkness to strike a note
heard on a tuning fork no one even knew was there, always, waiting in the darkness
waiting to be rung, to sing out into the depths of fear with the simplest, kindest message
Every time we settle.
Every time we give in.
Every time we give up.
Every time we claim impossibility.
We are limiting our expression of self. Every human that's ever wished to fly knows this
The empty vacuum of doubt swelling whenever the thought of coasting through the sky arises
We allow ourselves no room, no freedom to change what others see us as, our selves as
because we will not forget our forms, becoming shapeless as water.
Freeing our mind of the formed allows it take on the unformed.....As said, the full eternity
can hold nothing at all
Whereas the empty lotus finds between it's petals
there is nothing it -can- not hold
"When you poor water into a cup...it beCOMES the cup." Never believe you are incapable
Simply pour into the experience and become it. When it comes to being the True you
The true soul, unshackled, Bruce has given us
Infinite Lee Way
