I love both but I prefer to train in the JKD concepts more. The “absorb what is useful and discard what is useless” saying, it makes sense to me so my skills, techniques and knowledge is constantly evolving. For example, no one outside of Brazil knew about Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Bruce Lee’s time. But I have no doubt that if Bruce knew about it, he would learn it and adapt it. But since that didn’t happen, and Bruce didn’t teach it, are we to discard it then, since BJJ wasn’t in the original curriculum? I do respect the original JKD community with all my heart. I just personally prefer to keep adapting, and evolving like adding BJJ or any other method of fighting that didn’t exist, or wasn’t as well known back in Bruce’s time, if it works in actual combat of course, so I can be the best martial artist/fighter I can possibly be.

The JKD philosophy seems practical & balanced which makes it applicable to many activities like business, health and so on. As far as the two paths where one is “traditional” and the other is the application of the philosophical principles... why not embrace both? A foundation is required for anything of substance to last. But the human element always impacts the end product. Ultimately though, the individual’s like/dislikes and gifts/skills become that person’s technique/approach to anything.

I wish I could train with Octavio Quintero.

How the hell is he not at 1 million subs

Thanks to Dan Lok for this interesting video. As one of Bruce's Oakland students, I'd like to take this opportunity to correct a common misconception that the term "Jeet Kung Do" was coined in 1967. For example, there is this from the Bruce Lee Foundation: "The term Jeet Kune Do was coined and put into use in 1967 by Bruce Lee in an attempt to put a name to his martial art expression." Bruce announced Jeet Kune Do to his Montecello students in Jimmy Lee's garage in1965.

A smoothie over a fruit satay, any day. You totally got it, Dan. Daily decrease instead of daily increase. The JKD concepts people concept too much without realizing that they've missed the true essence and the most important concepts of JKD. Now when can I spar with you?

"The ability to adapt to any situation. Efficiency is anything that scores." In my opinion I believe you should all stop with the nonsense and be an individual, express yourself.

I remember when your youtube channel had 90k subs, good job.

Sifu always trying to expand his uncontainable spirit. Huge inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, ty to both Sifu's, Sifu Dan Lok and Sifu Sigong Octavio Quintero. I think you are both correct in your views of what it is. Also, when it comes to Ego, i think its to the detriment of the fighter when they have it because it causes them to always under estimate their opponent. I've had a few street fight with other Martial Artist and I've noticed that the bigger the ego, the more they under estimated me and the easier it was to defeat them. Also, when i asked why did you say this or that it came back to the teachers philosophy that their art was the best. I would always say all Martial Arts are good, you just need to find the right one for you that you are comfortable doing and will be affective when used in real life. As for so many techniques, I see your point. But from my experience when using it in tournaments and in the streets in Chicago. When in a situation you just react and it flows out of you, whether its one or 4 men you take down in seconds when things happen. I've wondered before what will i do but i've always noticed that it just came out of me and i was able to deal with the situation. With JKD, i think we can all make assumptions on what Sifu Brue Lee would say or do or add to. But he is the only one that would be able to say what would be next. I do think fighting has evolved and Martial Arts needs to be able to handle it in where ever it goes and where it might happen. To that in my opinion i think Sifu Lee would have had it evolve to handle things but still have certain principals behind it so it stays true to its nature. Sifu Lee was only with us a short time in his life when it was cut short. But he did give us a foundation on where to start from and evolve forward.

I want to learn Bruce Lee's JKD through Sifu Lamar Davis.

*I incorporate JKD in my Boxing* Doesn't matter if old or new. If it helps me in my fights then I use them.

Correct. Definitely opinions and arguements about JKD make no sense, especially because most people think that JKD is a standardized technique, which is in fact not, but a concept towards finding what best fits your needs. I've just started Muay Thai trainings for 2 months now, but i have had practiced several martial arts before. But during Muay Thai sparring, i apply JKD principles while limiting my techniques to just Muay Thai techniques and rules,.. But every strike i make does a lot of difference. I beat those guys who practiced Muay Thai for at least 2 years already. So, JKD is not a standard technique, but a principle.

What I like is that the "difference" is not so important. Like you say: Go for directness, simplicity, hack away the unessential. JKD is science behind fighting. Give it a name and it is ruined.

Hi Dan, thank you so much. Please share more good things man. I am sharing this video to the people of Indonesia. 😊🙏 GOD bless Dan

Deep stuff Sifu! Love the way you break it down.

I love your JKD video’s, keep it up

Hahaha, that's funny: I've seen the Sell me this pen-video, but somehow stumbled upon this JKD-video. Never realized you're a martial artist as well. :D

Always love your videos thank you for them dan! I’m always learning everyday and I’m grateful for such a good source.

I agree. I also trained in JKD Concepts for awhile. I got confused at first and then I noticed the "i have too many tools and forgot where I put them!" issue. I do my best to simplify it mentally: Just make my own style that has good intercepting striking methods, takedowns, and ground game. The labels just make things way too complex for my mind to handle. I'll pay homage to the traditions of those arts, but I will also incorporate them in a formless and nameless way.

Nice video... One regret I have is not buying a book buy Ted Wong on JKD. I think that book had the Original JKD in it. I think and could be wrong but Bruce wanted his students to learn ideas.and concepts and then come up with there own style JKD Concepts. Use whatever Martial Arts you have around you and strip it down (using JKD principals) to what's effective for you and your area. I studied Hapkido for many years but when I started JKD... I looked at the four ranges and used only a couple techniques in each range. Kicking; Front, Side, and Round all low below the belt. Hand; Dirty Western Boxing, Eye gouge, Jab and Cross. Trapping; Thai Boxing, and Grapple; Jiu Jitsu. Nice video again wrote my term paper on this in college. The professor only thought Bruce was an actor and didn't know he created an Martial Art.

Your production/ editing guys deserve that money, this series is Dope... and the soundtrack, oh man!

OUTSTANDING Vid sifus !! as usual...thx for the humility lesson. needs to be repeated often !

The challenge in life is not to think in absolutes all the time and I imagine it's the same for JKD. Enjoyed the video.

Learning to mimic an expression vs learning to express yourself

You are doing a very good thing preserving Master Bruce's Legacy thankyou and well done keep on expanding his legacy .

‘So what might have started off as some sort of personal fluidity on the part of the founder has now become solidified, fixed knowledge-organised and classified responses presented in logical order. In so doing, the well meaning, loyal followers have made this knowledge not only a holy shrine, but a tomb in which the founder’s wisdom is buried’. -Bruce Lee. Artist of Life …How prophetic that this is what became of his own art

Bruce developed a system to be applied simply and directly. Including principles from other arts can be valuable to help one adapt to the dynamics of fighting. The best way to demonstrate if the principles are effective is full contact fighting. In that way, one can discard the elements that don't work and keep those that do. Ultimately, each individual will find his/her own truth in combat.

Enjoyed this, Dan. I think The Warrior Within broke it down for me: Bruce seemed to take both views you presented so creatively: You can take techniques as you would individual fruits or blend them. He seemed big on pure intuition and opposed to overthinking (which is compounded with a whole lot of useful head knowledge you mentioned). It was about feeling what the situation dictated and then acting without hesitation. That works powerfully, even in mundane things. Life really is about that pure self-awareness and self-control that martial arts teaches, thus the saying I heard more than once that 'our whole life is kung fu'

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach I am trying to learn everything online from you because there is no teachers in my area so thank you so much

Hm...Bruce Lee's message: Everyone dies in the end, even the innocent and beautiful, and the lone warrior walks away, very much alone, and it's quite sad. Correct me if you believe I got it wrong!

I completely agree with the idea of concepts and principles. Have been training and teaching in multiple styles for the past 45 years. I am new at doing videos for the past 6 months and I constantly see people are always highly opinionated. I love learning still and sharing what I can with those out there. I have much appreciation for what you have been sharing, keep it up.

Hi! I am not involved in martial arts in any way but I believe that Bruce Lee himself said 'Be like water ' when referring to the art and he went on to say: ' Be shapeless... formless..' therefore if we listen to the master it is clear that he did not enjoy being a passive student He was an active student who constantly evolved and broke barriers that prevented his evolution but it is also nice to have in mind an old quote which I believe comes from Picasso who said: Learn the rules like a master so you can break them like a pro'

Principles. Simple is complex.

Jeet kune do is the style whitout a style

Great videos Like how you combine technique examples along with some history of the art.

Dan I watch many of your jkd videos and a few others. I really do appreciate what u do for so many people. U have done excellent videos on jkd. If u get the time would u be able to go over the finer points. For example when kicking explain the unnoticed parts. I have bought a few videos on jkd. One was from Wednesday night jkd I belive and they didn't go over the little points. U knew how to throw the kick but it was missing something. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I'm the student of Sifu Santanu Roy,student of sigung Joaquin Marcelo...who has trained original jkd under legend Ted WONG and trained JKD CONCEPTS by legend Dan inosanto.

I did not realise there were 2 paths of JKD thought. Having studied wing chun a while, I like the idea of learning the principles and techniques first, I suppose that is the classic way, then as you internalise them you can build on it and adapt it to your body, mindset, etc. Like with triangle stance, I asked sifu why do people think you use that to fight as it has horrible mobility? He said that the triangle stance builds structure, strength, teaches you to lower your center of gravity, practice rotation and drilling, etc. Then when fighting you use the Chum kiu stance, very much like boxing stance, so you can blend quick mobility and lightness while then also blending in the good rooting you already trained. So the “patience, grasshopper “ mindset. I suppose if you only did concepts you could have a hodgepodge of who knows what, so I like the blend, and always keep learning. Great to see you and Octavio again, what an awesome channel.

I think the original JKD was what Bruce Lee taught until he died. In a way, it was a "style", as there were a set of tools, techniques, principles. Although not limited to that. JKD Concepts are concepts taken from the original, which can be applied to one or more martial arts. Concepts such as simplicity, being direct, effective, saving movements, discarding what is useless and adding what is uniquely yours.

I feel jkd is something that should keep all base techniques from original jkd but then continue to enhace and add different styles to it and in that process also remove all unnecessary movements or thoughts and by combining both jkd concepts and original jkd i have been inspired to create my own martial art Baki

I really enjoy your vlogs thank you for them 🙏

Enjoyed it. Thanks guys.

Dan you are one of the VERY few people in the martial arts world especially JKD world that make sense to me.

I would want to learn Jeet Kune Do Concepts to this more techniques.

Dan!Hi I'd be happy if you put a video about benfeits of defeat and how to win depressions.

Bruce Lee evolved his thought and philosophy on martial arts training and JKD towards the concept of using what's useful and rejecting what's useless. It was about principles, not training in a specific way. Agree with what the Sifu said. It's all about adapting to your opponent. Great video.

Hey bro Dan...I am with you on this...and honestly I don't exaggerate the 'difference' between them...as you aptly said what's important is that we apply the positivity that Bruce embodied to all his direct or indirect (like us) students and just be like water. Your understanding of having 'just one move' for the sake of simplicity and effectiveness, actually is applying JKD which BL applies on himself...again, I am with you on this... As Bruce said 'There is brilliance in simplicity' can be found on how he formed and applied the 1inch-3inch punch, whereas when it is explored, it is derived from the Wing chun snap punch, Jack Dempsey's floating punch, the Boxers Jab (this is a hint to all you dissers who says that the 1inch punch is just a push) and the Fencing footwork... all these complicated moves combined into one simplified punch called the 1inch 3 inch punch. Now thats Bruce's genius at work to me, waay ahead 30 years of his time back then. I am glad to have found you, another Bruce 'indirect' students here on KZfaq...although you've been more lucky to have studied under the original JKD student Sifu Ted Wong. All the best to you my friend.

I honestly like both for my own personal reasons I'm highly aware that there is some benefits to both OJKD and JKDC

Great video! Thank you for Your work

I am from the Sticky-Boxing and Ted Wong Jeet Kune Do lineage. It is about having very few tools, but making them amazing, structured, maximum power, straight to the target, just hit! But there should be wayyyy less drama in the Martial Art world, especially in Jeet Kune Do. I cannot put others down for doing something that makes them happy. Do I have to agree with it or agree it will work in a real confrontation, not at all. But I can respect a journey.

No way as a way, no method as a method, everyone should find what suits themselves

Hey..Dan.....I used to practice by my own... So I prefer Bruce Lee JKD...without weapons..

Let's see some sparring

The way I see JKD is that from 2 years experience(not big ) is that it gives the basic principles for a fight and each time you adopt accordingly your weapons! Btw, Dan Lok I would like to thank you for uploading these useful videos !

First of all thank you indeed, you are giving as so much tools to become a better versions of our selves. JKD question: how to become more aware of the space around as, and how to be not afraid from the opponent and how to be sure of what to do in a real fight? Thank you very much!

before I see this video I were talking about you Dan I was talking about how you teach me how to do high picket sale an to leverage other people relationship you change my life Dan thank you Dan! an yes I love Bruce Lee am one of is fan he share love !

You need the basics, but you also, need as Dan Inosanto said Concept, JKD is 3 phases but it is also, as Dan said 'Research and Development'. Or as Bruce said to use what is useful, t o disregard what is useless and add essentially what is your own'

What Sijo Lee was teaching at the time of his Death, what about what he was teaching a year before that? and 4 years before that? and 8 years? Wing Chun, Jun Fan, JKD ? his Seattle school? his Oakland school ? and..... you see he was constantly studying new things - other martial arts, what worked for him, and moving forward. His art was never "set" or fixed in one form. So we can all agree if he had lived on - it would have continued to evolve. People just debate that what some of his students continued to explore -or incorporate - would have been what he would have done - so instead of debating some just pick and stay with where he was at - at the time of his death. Does not matter because it was about your personal growth in practical fighting.

"if they can take a kick to the groin, you run"

I think both would JKD's would be useful. Because you have people that carry weapons on them. When I gone to Minnesota Kali Groups, I seen Rick Fey, holding weapons. I think he trained under Dan Inosanto. It was a lot of Styles in there. I think people have to be aware, that Bruce body mechanics, are not like everyone else's. His mentality was different. He Eat live and sleep Martial Arts. The average person is not willing to go as far as Bruce did. I think it comes down to what works for you. That's why you have Specialist like Cardiologist. Because they can do special things, when when it comes to a heart. Unlike other types of Doctors.

Agree...learning all arts and forms is the best in my opinion...do what's best for you...flow like water and be water my friend!

JKD was Bruce's personal path to fighting. It was the way of intercepting first. Basically it was a style of timed counter attacking to almost guarantee a successful attack. Bruce realized that openings were more prevalent when opponents are attacking, so you should counter with your attack when a person is attacking or advancing towards you. It's a definite style all onto him. He was fast and explosive so that method worked best into him, as he often had the speed and fitness advantage over his opponents or partners. People over think it. It was his style. I think Bruce advocated that everyone find their own style that's best for them. A punch is a punch, a kick is a kick; fighting is fighting, and the general basis is all the same; but as to what methodology works best per individual is almost as unique as a fingerprint because everyone has attributes unique into themselves. Bruce was fast and explosive; so intercepting with a counter was the style that was best attributed onto him.

It like Guided Chaos. Free from forms. Flexible, moveable, Take all the styles and see the kicks etc. 5 ways of attack like boxing.

Both sides of the discussion are correct for different reasons. Original should be preserved and taught as is even if only purely for historical record. Conceptual practice should be engaged in for obvious reasons. Fighting isn't without purpose. Therefore, one's fighting technique should address that at all costs.

"science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" ... and so it is with martial arts

Having a lot of knowledge of different martial is good. That is better than only Bruce Lee’s Jkd and then you can blend them together into different situation

I think the original JKD and JKD concepts shouldn't have resistance. It is 2 parts of a whole thing. "Be water, my friend"

Fully agree with you Dan... whatever you said..

Peope give credit to Bruce Lee about is impact on Martial Arts, he formed JKD to break from their system. He revolutionized self defense itself. There is a tremendous difference.

Even with my look I to Tai Chi, there's the five major styles with their variation. Chen style has more explosive moves where Yang is more flowing. Thanks for sharing.

Very good video. I'm not a practitioner, but I understand it real it well if that makes sense. I did not realize there was a difference of old vs new. One of my favorite stances is muy Thai. As I understand it, its use what one is comfortable with. I wish there was a school close by here by those who have that authority to teach it. By your movements Mr. Dan Lok, I can tell you are very fast. Very cool. I am a subscriber to your channel, keep up the good work.

Hey Dan Lok, probably is nothing related to this video but could you do a video about your view on FOREX and shares and also could you recommend us on some resources which we can turn to in order to gain some knowledge from experienced and skilled individual. It would help tremendously as many are into the FOREX market or so, I guess?

Hi Dan,what is a good way to grab a stronger attacker from the back and get them off of somebody else,and can we get some more detail about how to defend being attacked from the back?please??😉

Did Sigong just echo Master Ken's policy of "stomp the groin and then restomp the groin"?

I love both and I use both thanks brother

I Believe that we should Incorporate different Martial Arts and Incorporate Jeet Kune Do (both Original and Concept) in to that, and then build on them at and come up with your Own New Ideas that may Surpass Jeet Kune Do.

the biggest difference in martial arts is dojo training or fighting in a ring/competition or street fighting/self defence to stay alive .... do u really want to grapple or wrestle with someone trying to kill you and you're not going to use deadly blows in a ring or dojo... it all depends situationally and what your training for...

I believe that the most important thing in JKD practice is to be able to kick and punch and also do whatever technique is needed at the moment to win the fight without hurting anybody as much as possible and if possible. I also think that as long as it is fun for you you can learn whatever - concept or original, weapons or just the hands.. As long as it's something you enjoy to do and study - it's all ok to me :)

As the late Bruce Lee told Dan Inosanto JKD in the 60s will not be the same in the future. It evolves. Be water my friend

I also never liked this bully way of using Martial Arts as a weapon only to intimidate, threaten and even attack the helpless people. All about ego (and insecurity as you already mentioned in another video some weeks ago). Back on the 90s I also used to think about Martial Arts as a way to defend my self and that's it. Now exactly 10 years ago when I saw that Bruce Lee lost interview («The Big Boss» time), I started to look at Jeet Kune Do and all the other arts in a different way. Today I truly believe, it's a way of life. Learning how to be better, to live better. But like he said, styles corrupt Martial Arts and a lot of people in general. When they came up with this MMA championship, their goal was exactly this thing of «What's the best style» and the result was people with broken bones and other serious injuries. Then recently the were mentioning Bruce Lee as the father of MMA just because of that scene he did with Samo Hung on «Enter the Dragon» (I mean, if he knew, he probably wouldn't do it)...I'm a master last year released a video on youtube clarifying this great mistake (or bad publicity) because it was a total lie... So the thing is, I'm happy and I'm grateful that Bruce Lee made all this great effort, not only to share his knowledge but to try to connect all of us to the martial arts in a good way. If all could understand this way, I believe it would be much better. But I think the problem also comes from other issues (like education, but that's another very long subject).

Mr.Dan what is Bruce Lee ( hero) height ?? and your's does height matter in a fight.

For me ...JKD = " longest weapon to the nearest target " It's about directness and efficiency. Directly the to the target. To me ...... that's JKD

I think JKD concepts are MUCH more beneficial ESPECIALLY since JKD is all about "No Way as Way" meaning take what benefits you and discard the rest. Also, by setting certain ways of doin things (i.e. punching certain way or certain moves only) this also puts limits on your Spirit. And your Spirit can set your mind and body free..just as long as it is also limitless.

Exactly Sifu Octavio. JKD is about principles(simplicity, economy of motion etc) and according to these principles we use our body to defeat opponent. I think that from these Bruce created his simple movements etc. JKD its not mixed martial art(concepts) or moving like Bruce Lee moved and if not its bad(original).

Everyone's body structure is different so I would like to go with the concepts

I interpret the original and the concepts as ying yang

i just realise i dont like blocking attacking in jkd but to attack the opponent , attack the opponent the meant i learn art of dying in jkd . My jkd has no defense but attack the opponent

Hei Dan! I am not very familiar with martial arts, but I thing we can use the princeples and apply is a good way...

jack man Wong made Bruce close his s.f school and look outside of wing chun for answers... Bruce spoke highly of xingyi bagua as being freer in application than wing Chun.

I`ve allways thought that Bruce's Jeet Kune Do was about using the best skill at the moment, not something pre stablished. "be formless, shapeless, be water my friend"

There is so much to learn in jkd and I'm finding out that more and more are reverting to the boxing side of jkd over the wing Chun.. We still proactive the wing Chun style at the very end of the class for maybe 20 minutes.. The rest of the time is a lot of boxing inspirations and practicing the pendulum kicks to the groin. This is someone who is certified to teach by Dan Inosanto 4th Gen I guess? Since this trainer learned from his master who learned with inosanto So I don't know if it's original or concept.. But I've noticed a difference in the way you intercept the punch vs the way he makes us. Maybe it's si. Ply because I'm new to this teacher. But he's more prone to box and Bob and weave then punch over intercepting the punch like you showed in the videos.. Which is the right way? Don't think there is, just what works best.

I believe that this debate could be finished with the, "Way of Water". All of this ego, hatred, and, negative mindset needs discipline in a spiritual sense.

Simple direct needs to not be complex.

I only have to remember 5 xingyi punches and to keep going forward and to punch thru other peoples' punches and walk through their kicks. Takes a bit of getting used to.

I think it's better to know more martial arts then just a one.

Dan do you have any experience as a door to door salesman? You would probably respond with make the prospect call you so you can be the problem solver and have the power but I feel like doing this door to door sales thing will improve and develop my skills with communication.

One side wants to stay in the past and the other side wants to add way too much. You can’t mix dandy lions in a rose garden. One thing for sure, the young generation must help jkd evolve into the future.

I think what both were basically trying to say (not trying to put words in their mouths, but based on my experiences and impressions) is that both are useful in different ways. One of, if not the biggest misconception in JKD Concepts is that we are ADDING TO... but that is a juvenile interpretation. The point of learning more arts is 2 fold; 1) as Bruce Lee said we should know our opponent (paraphrased, because he actually said it soooo many different ways) in order to know how best to deal with them (because some arts are almost impossible to learn about strictly as an observer, this was and still is a common problem in Wing Chun for instance as Wing Chun practitioners are often discouraged from using kicks or ground fighting and therefore when most go up against these it gives them a lot of trouble despite that the philosophy and teaching had/have merit in why and how it is best not to because of the potential weaknesses involved... because they never practiced those counters in any very realistic ways), and 2) because the more differences we learn the more what they all share reduces and so eventually we are left what is essential rather than what is superficial (at which point you see every technique for it's governing philosophies and 1000 techniques can essentially look the same and feel the same to you as if they were all just 1 technique being used differently, and then you can use that 1 technique any way you want to and never think or hesitate because it is all still the same... you might even find yourself winning a fight by accident and not even able to recall what you did or how you won). The question of Original or Concepts JKD is more a question of which way do you learn best; by 1) progressing in order from start to finish, or 2) by looking ahead and then disassembling from that how the earlier steps work. I personally am an example of the second, I found it easier to begin in Concepts and then once I got deep enough into that I started using Original JKD teachings to test my philosophies and was able to learn to be me from the start but also how to express myself in such a way as to remain true to the intent of Bruce Lee's art. I personally hope that the two come together as a kind of yin and yang, separate yet intrinsically connected and coming together in harmony in order to form a true and complete whole (as I already believe they do, but it isn't about whether they are or not it is about whether we perceive them as such or not... we all have a strength for everyone of our weaknesses, this is fact, but if we do not perceive our weaknesses we become vulnerable and if we do not perceive our strengths we become ineffective or without impact... but if we perceive both as they truly are then we can make use of both, in fact at least 3 if not all 5 of Bruce's 5 Ways of Attack are centered around this philosophy). It should also be stated that even though we talk about which school is better we should understand that if it weren't for Bruceploitation (the fact that suddenly every martial arts school was teaching "Jeet Kune Do Concepts" and any could make the claim no matter how lacking because there was no official institution with any authority to regulate JKD at the time) Dan Inosanto said himself that there would be no JKD schools at all because they had no idea what or how to teach as Bruce was constantly coming back with something new he had learned and changing the curriculum (to what extent, to serve what purpose, Inosanto never said and I am guessing only Bruce truly knew and maybe not even he where it was all going, up to and beyond his early death... but the point is that in this we see, once again, both at work the philosophies and the foundation... it was his art, and so in Bruce we trusted regardless of what or how or when or to whom and this only seemed more to prove his philosophies further therefore providing a kind of vague certainty of what it meant to be a JKD practitioner, but he is dead now and we can't put all our trust in him saying what it is or isn't anymore... so we are left with 2 options... to let his art die out or to continue it despite our uncertainties... the second of which I feel honors Bruce and his warrior spirit and the unique and wonderful aspects of each and every one of us and our surrounding existence in all it's many forms and splendors and with all the passion these things deserve).
