David Lynch is among a handful of film makers that really refined my sense of the art. I'm not not saying that I have a refined taste in films, but rather, they refined my perception and thought process while watching films. Every film has something to offer, but a David Lynch film is so full of genius that I am exhausted half way through. They are marathons of intellectual might that I used to take very seriously as an exercise of my mind and my perception of society.
Catching up on BoingBoing today, I ran across his latest project Interview Project. I have since distanced myself from film media for various reasons and I never really dug into who David Lynch was beyond the director of "Blue Velvet" and other such masterpieces. But it turns out he is also into meditation and has a foundation to further his practice and mission.

In today’s world of fear and uncertainty, every child should have one class period a day to dive within himself and experience the field of silence—bliss—the enormous reservoir of energy and intelligence that is deep within all of us. This is the way to save the coming generation. --David Lynch

This single quote truly settles everything I have learned about myself and the world through his films.


**a note about the photo... I shot this while driving through a small town somewhere in the middle of the US in 2005(Nebraska perhaps?). It has nothing to do with David Lynch, but I immediately thought it fit this posting well. Enjoy
