beautiful — i went up to North Bend and Snoqualmie a few days ago, and they had a wonderful makeshift memorial to David Lynch outside of the diner. Cigarettes, donuts, lovely handwritten notes thanking David. You would have appreciated it. I really appreciate this piece — thank you for writing it

I don't really have much to say other than that this was the best piece I've read all year. Thank you so much for writing and sharing it with us.

breathtaking. thank you for sharing this. you captured something about Lynch's work, that sharp turn towards sincerity, that redemptive insight into the good potential into even the darkest of human failing, that keeps me coming back to his work.

This is beautiful…

I can feel the spirit of sincerity in this.

I’m assuming you deactivated your X account to maintain focus on your next endeavor. I’m going to miss you, and I’ll be looking forward to your next writing.

"Do you ever want something so badly it hurts even to think of it?"

Yes, especially during the church season of Advent.

This was quite moving. A tribute to Lynch that showed us a glimpse into your soul without any pandering or airs. Raw and unfiltered prose. Thank you.

There's something so poetic about how Lynch, who created films that expressed such darkness and horror, left a legacy of such comfort and pure love. Just shows how we need to embrace and acknowledge the strangeness and despair to leave legacies of light.

Beautiful essay, a moving tribute to a singular creator. Thanks for writing.
