“Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life!

Not thinking but not dreaming.
Not being set but flexible.

“Be like water making its way through crack.

Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”

Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel,
Consuming myself.”
