THE DEATH OF KWAI CHANG CAINE
THE DEATH OF KWAI CHANG CAINE * I'll never forget the Shaolin Master Who hanged himself in his Bangkok hotel room * Taught by lessons from Master Po A blind Chinese priest with words of gold * Always one step ahead of the Chinese assassins He traveled his way through the American West * Through flashbacks he experienced, he never forgot, the teachings of Poe and his master's plan * His training as a priest taught him social responsibility and he fought for that justice in Kung Fu repeatedly. * His plan for serenity followed him always. So, what happened that day in that Bangkok hotel room? * I suppose we will never really know, but I sure as hell did love that show And though today he may rest in Peace, and his epitaph will read David Carradine he"ll be known forever as Kwai Chang Caine and the role he will own through eternity * We will miss you Grasshopper! * WordPlaya, June 2009 * * * * * * * * * * * * * Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear? Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds. Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat? Caine: No. Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet? Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things? Po: Young man, how is it that you do not? * "To suppress a truth is to give it force beyond endurance." - Master Kan. "Yet, it is eyes which blind the man." - Master Po. "Because a man can see, he does not look." - Master Po.
