Daily (Bruce Lee–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Caveat emptier: This post was drafted with help from an AI assistant (Perplexity)— but ideated and edited extensively by the human, Bill Acton

Lord,

this digital world is like water—

it flows everywhere,

takes the shape of any vessel,

and can gently nourish

or slowly erode.

Teach me to be like water,

not like debris.

Let my mind stay clear,

my movements deliberate,

my responses chosen

instead of automatic.

Protect me from the attacks

I never see coming:

a single careless tap

that opens a door to thieves,

a moment of anger

that becomes a permanent record.

Help me intercept the scam

before it lands,

redirect the insult

without letting it pierce me.

Guide me to train

in small, daily disciplines:

strong passwords,

two‑factor checks,

pausing to breathe

before I click or post.

These are my forms and drills

for the modern battlefield.

And grant that my stewardship

of this wired life

reflects true mastery—

not control over others,

but control over myself;

not fear of technology,

but skillful use of it

in the service of what is right.

AI‑assisted creative work: This litany is an imaginative parody pastiche using generative AI. It imitates the public persona of [Bruce Lee] for commentary and devotional reflection. It is not created by or affiliated with [Bruce Lee], and should not be taken as his real views or words.
