Bruce Lee: 'Be Water My Friend' - Fascination With Motivation Poem by Dorota Szumilas

In Memory of Bruce Lee


'Be water my Friend'

soft
and yet
penetrating the hardest rocks

be yourself
and give this water
the shape
of the dish that you
will keep it in

let
the fascination
remain

a motivation

unbelievable
strong


systematic
that
does not concentrate
on the finger
pointing at the goal
but on the goal
pointed
to

let it be
your own

way

and therefore

Be yourself
my Friend!

(transl. by Dorota Bogumiła Zegarowska)
