There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes. We are ignorant of many beautiful things. Things like the truth. So sadness, in our ignorance, is very real. The tears are real.

My concerns are global.

For those who celebrate ...

HAPPY TWIN PEAKS DAY!

There are things in life that exist, and yet our eyes cannot see them. Have you ever seen something startling that others cannot see? 

Why are some things kept from our vision? Is life a puzzle? I am filled with questions. Sometimes my questions are answered. In my heart, I can tell if the answer is correct. I am my own judge. In a dream, are all the characters really you? Different aspects of you? Do answers come in dreams? 

One more thing: I grew up in the woods. I understand many things because of the woods. Trees standing together, growing alongside one another, providing so much. 

I chew pitch gum. On the outside, let's say of the ponderosa pine, sometimes pitch oozes out. Runny pitch is no good to chew. Hard, brittle pitch is no good. But in between there exists a firm, slightly crusted pitch with such a flavor. This is the pitch I chew.

"One day my log will have something to say about this."

Al Strobel

1939-2022

THE GIANT

I will tell you three things. If I tell them to you and they come true, then will you believe me?

COOPER

Who’s that?

THE GIANT

Think of me as a friend.

COOPER

Where do you come from?

THE GIANT

The question is, where have you gone?  The first thing I will tell you is, there’s a man in a smiling bag.

COOPER

Man in a smiling bag.

THE GIANT

Second thing is, the owls are not what they seem. Third thing is, without chemicals he points.

COOPER

What do these things mean?

THE GIANT

This is all I am permitted to say. Give me your ring. I will return it to you when you find these things to be true.

THE GIANT takes the ring from COOPER.

THE GIANT

We want to help you.

COOPER

Who’s we?

____________________

David's spiritual life has always been part of his work, and that's deepened in a way that's reflected in his work. I can't point to something and say, "Oh now he's doing this," because the change has been more subtle than that. It's like his work has gotten richer. Twin Peaks has confounded many people, but David's an artist and the work he does isn't supposed to be easy. I don't think he feels compelled to tell a story people want him to tell, and seems totally comfortable with that.

Can you see through a wall? Can you see through human skin? X-rays see through solid, or so-called solid objects. There are things in life that exist, yet our eyes cannot see them. Have you ever seen something startling that others cannot see? Why are some things kept from our vision? Is life a puzzle?

I am filled with questions. Sometimes my questions are answered. In my heart, I can tell the answer is correct. I am my own judge. In a dream, are all the characters really you? Different aspects of you? Do answers come in dreams?

The inhabiting spirit of Bob, I see as part and parcel of a lot of what Twin Peaks might have been about. A metaphor for the half of life that is true, the half that is false, and the half that is truer than true.
