I would like to get the entire interview from Pierre Berton but this clip from his exchange with Bruce Lee is fascinating. Bruce Lee was not only an actor but a philosopher and martial artist. His quest was for devising a form of marital arts based on attack. Some have said that the form he began was a precursor to modern mixed martial arts. Berton notes that the Western world hasn't since the Greeks combined philosophy and art with sport. He poses this to Bruce Lee and Lee responds in a compelling way. In these interviews, it is really cool to hear how Bruce Lee responds at the end of some of his statements with, "that's it man" or "there you go baby". Interesting man to listen to and a tragedy that he died so young.

My PenséesThe title of this blog is an allusion to the famous work of Blaise Pascal. This blog represents the variety of my interests and thoughts on any given day and are strung together, like Pascal's Pensees, in no particular order. I work in the field of mental health, education, and human rights. I write and am a human rights advocate. I enjoy poetry, jazz, spirituality, politics and a potpourri of other interests that you will see reflected in this blog. Archives
