I had no idea he passed away shortly before Enter The Dragon was released. Incredible. The movie was a success and he clearly had that movie star power onscreen. He was going to the next level.

The Drug letters have opened up a whole new theory on his weight loss, paranoia and stress. We will never really know what happened the day of his death but we can always remember his global impact on the martial arts and film.

Bruce Lee has done more in 50 years of death than he did in 32 years of life. I am humbled by this great individual. Long live Bruce Lee and his spirit.

No matter what. Bruce brought us so much and we are not about to follow blindly but follow with compassion and learning. If you get his human capacity you quickly forget the stupid extra. Thank you Bruce, Sir, for being an amazing human being. 🥋
