Opinion | Kyle MacLachlan: How David Lynch Invented Me (Gift Article) How could words possibly do justice to an experience like that?

And

“When you are outside language, you are in the realm of feeling, the unconscious, waves. That was David’s world. Because there’s room for other people — as the listeners, the audience, the other end of the line—to bring some of themselves.”

Wonderful guest essay by Kyle MacLachlan in todays’s NYTimes.

Some excerpts that stood out:

“David didn’t fully trust words because they pinned the idea in place. They were a one-way channel that didn’t allow for the receiver.”

I’m feeling a bit down and in need of a mood boost.

You know what cheers me up?

Cute pens, pencils, stationery, art supplies and affordable art.

Thank you, David Lynch for widening the field of possibility. You said, “I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents” + “It’s so freeing, it’s beautiful in a way when you have a great failure” + opened doors to wondrous + terrible rooms. A companion to my creativity. R.I.P.

Of Absence by Linda Gregg I climb the mountain up steps the moon has already taken. Of absence. Of things broken. To see if the moon is a mouth. To see if I am what it wants.

can't stop thinking about this little (vast) poem

Not this again

10 wherever there is a hole in a metaphysical fabric you are sure to find a hundred metaphysicians attempting to fill it but above our residence on earth the sky is clear, an uncommitted avantgardist

Anselm Hollo

Writing is a tough gig. The least we can do is be good to each other.

Japan's manhole covers are an artform, but I haven't figured out what a hippopotamus is doing on this one in Yokohama.

Last day of absolute freedom

Reading about the rise of Nazism in 1930s Germany? This sheet pan Black Forest cake will make you feel like you were there.

The people I trust the most are those who are always tenderly wrestling and negotiating with their own shadows, making preemptive strikes on their personal share of the world's evil, fighting the good fight to keep from spewing their darkness on those around them.

One thing I did to be closer to Dad last year while grieving his death was to begin to grow my modest vinyl collection so that I could listen to music with care again, not as background lifestyle noise, but attentively and joyfully, the way he taught me to as a child.

i still can’t stop thinking about nosferatu man that ending shot was HAUNTING

Here’s a poetry generating practice that seems to work well: when you’re on well trod lyric ground, maybe make a list of the “auto predict” descriptions that cluster around stars, ocean waves, autumn leaves, THE SKY, watching your lover sleep, hands, lips, mouths, breath, toes, wind & etc. Then

Congratulations! And happy birthday 🥳!
