More often than we care to acknowledge we might not be facing a tangible barrier, but an unwillingness to engage with an uncomfortable situation.
And while it’s almost automatic to think of discomfort in the negative, it’s also often a natural companion of progress and growth.
The Thoughts of Others
Today’s ‘thoughts of others’ are from David Lynch, seeing as he just passed away and undoubtedly had a big influence on my creative attraction to the absurd and surreal. If anyone can really be called a ‘true artist’ – which for me constitutes a bold, brave, and persistent commitment to carving out a distinct creative path – then he definitely got closer than most.
- “I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it.” – David Lynch
- “We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.” – David Lynch
