Father Cutting Woods

More From David Lynch

I spend a lot of time doing carpentry. sometimes there is nothing that gives me the contentment that sawing a piece of wood does.
Giving Contentment Doe
We think the fire eats the wood. we are wrong. the wood reaches out to the flame. the fire licks at what the wood harbors, and the wood gives itself away to that intimacy, the manner in which we and the world meet each new day.

Christmas crept into pine cove like a creeping christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.

We're not allowed in the cutting room - and that's extraordinary. so, when a director is asking for certain nuances and colours and we feel that they're phoney, but we do it because the director asks for it, that's the one that they pick in the cutting room. and i contend that when you see a movie with bad acting, don't blame the actor... blame those guys in the cutting room because they like that take.

I'm a bit of a deconstructionist myself. it's kind of exciting - the last intellectual thrill left. like sawing through the branch you're sitting on.

Our human tragedy is that we are unable to comprehend our experience, it slips through our fingers, we can't hold on to it, and the more time passes, the harder it gets...my father said that the natural world gave us explanations to compensate for the meanings we could not grasp. the slant of the cold sunlight on a winter pine, the music of water, an oar cutting the lake and the flight of birds, the mountains' nobility , the silence of the silence. we are given life but must accept that it is unattainable and rejoice in what can be held in the eye, the memory, the mind.

Among the blessings of love there is hardly one more exquisite than the sense that in uniting the beloved life to ours we can watch over its happiness, bring comfort where hardship was, and over memories of privation and suffering open the sweetest fountains of joy.

We should use our imagination more than our memory.

As i look back now on my coaching career, i think of my family, i think of the days that we spent together. i say this to coaches everywhere: if you ever have a chance to take your kids with you, take them. don't miss that opportunity. because when it's all over and done with, when you look back, those are going to be your fondest memories.

Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality. it speaks of what seems fantastic and unreal to those who have lost the simple intuitions which are the test of reality; and, as it is often found at war with its age, so it makes no account of history, which is fabled by the daughters of memory.
