FOREWORD

The Path of an Artist

There are not a great many truly outstanding people who pass through our lives. These few remarkable people leave a distinct imprint when their chosen path in life happens to cross ours. Indeed, an encounter with an extraordinary human being at a particular confluence in the course of our daily existence may define our destiny.

I imagine that most of us can name only a handful of people who have exerted such a life-changing influence upon us. Perhaps your father or other gave you such inspiration, a teacher or a friend, a writer or a figure from history. Undoubtedly, because you have picked up this book, you consider that Bruce Lee may be one of those rare individuals who has profoundly impacted your life.

It goes without saying that my life is significantly different from what it would have been had I not met Bruce on that momentous day in 1963. I am grateful for the nine years of marriage that I had the privilege of sharing with this rare and gifted individual. In addition to the adventure of living with a thoroughly energizing person and the joy of creating a family with him, I learned a great deal from Bruce which has guided me through all the years since he left.
