Eraserhead


Eraserhead originally a 21-page script was written and directed by David Lynch and released in 1977. With a $10,000 grant from the AFI Lynch began working on his film in 1971. However, $10,000 wasn't enough for Lynch to develop this feature length film. Lynch turned to family and friends for money to finish the production. It wasn't until 1977Eraserhead was released and became a cult classic.

This disturbing film, which Lynch still has yet to explain became recognized by the United States Library of Congress as a "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" film in 2004 and is now preserved in the National Film Registry.

Interesting Fact: -"The mutant baby was apparently created from the embalmed fetus of a calf. After completing the film, Lynch reportedly buried the "Embalmed Calf" in an undisclosed location."

Ophelia (detail)

Ophelia



The River Lyrics reminded me of this painting
Ophelia, by John Everett Millais, 1852
One of my favorites

The River Lyrics


Y
ou know a dream is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And the dreamer's just the vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.

(chorus)
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry.


Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.

(Chorus)

And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.

(Chorus)

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry


-Garth Brooks

If we could see


If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

I like this

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

-Cherokee prayer blessing

We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.
