David Lynch thought for the day . . . . . we will not see his like again




"Morning pages are more than just a practice—they’re a doorway into the subconscious, a space where the veils of the waking mind begin to lift. Carl Jung (Ketu in Hasta) called it the shadow, the part of ourselves that holds both the truths we fear and the creativity we crave. Federico Fellini and David Lynch(R.I.P.) built their dreamlike worlds from this place, drawing on the surreal, the hidden, and the raw.


When you write in the morning, before the noise of the day sets in, you’re fishing in the deep waters of your mind, as Lynch would say. The subconscious is still close, whispering fragments of forgotten dreams, unresolved thoughts, and quiet desires. The pen becomes a bridge, translating those whispers into words, revealing parts of yourself you might not otherwise notice."


“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” 

David Lynch
