It is best not to be formless like water, but to be formless like Bruce Lee. Water is what a poet drinks. Bruce Lee is formless Gung Fu martial artist.
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
- Bruce Lee
Apparently only 'sux wants us to not be like water...cause Bruce sure does
