This past weekend, Pollee and I made our way to Fairfield, Iowa to Maharishi University. There. we listened to the sage words of David Lynch.
What did he say? Well, mostly the format was Q and A, so film professors, students and kooks like us (from all over the country) lined up to ask him about filmmaking, his process and how creativity is best nurtured.
His advice? “Water the root, not the fruit.” As well as meditating twice daily for twenty minutes.
“Dive in and get wet with the self” he repeated, along with “Do it and just see what happens.”
Often when I see those i admire, they become less inspiring somehow, or perhaps it is easy to be disappointed when you see how they “really are.”
Not so in this case. The man continues to inspire.
Thanks, David.
