It’s a privilege to journey with David Lynch in Catching The Big Fish—Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity. He hooked me on his first line: “Ideas are like fish.” Intrigued, I agreed to dive deeper with him. Some of his observations are deeply personal, yet his writing makes room for the reader. He shares generously with intimacy, and, at times, humour. I admire his concise entries, sparse prose, and poetic insights. If you haven’t yet, start Catching the Big Fish—David Lynch has crafted pages that shimmer and shine.
