Lee was in the habit of sitting down and writing whatever came into his head. He didn’t do this as a flight of fancy, but rather in an attempt to get in touch with his real feelings on various issues, without the guise of public celebrity or self-image, but simply the honest expression of his innermost thoughts and feelings in a completely spontaneous and unedited fashion. He once wrote:

I have to say I am writing whatever happens to be popping into my mind. It might be incoherent to some but, what the heck, I don’t care. I’m just simply writing whatever wants to be written at the moment of its conception. If we communicate, which I sincerely hope; it’s cool. If not, well, it can’t be helped anyway.

And again at another sitting:

I don’t know what I will be writing but just simply writing whatever wants to be written. If the writing communicates and stirs something within someone, it’s beautiful. If not, well, it can’t be helped.

It is my sincere hope that this volume of Bruce Lee’s personal writings will indeed “communicate” and “stir something within someone” reading this book, to the point that it will serve to help that someone in their own process of becoming both a better martial artist and, more importantly, a better person. That, dear reader, would be a very “beautiful” thing, indeed.
