The Owls Are Not What They Seem
Angelo Badalamenti: Twin Peaks Theme
Log Lady : [voiceover]
Hello again. Can you see through a wall? Can you see through human skin? X-rays see through solid, or so-called solid objects. There are things in life that exist, and yet our eyes cannot see them. Have you ever seen something startling that others cannot see? Why are some things kept from our vision? Is life a puzzle? I am filled with questions. Sometimes my questions are answered. In my heart, I can tell if the answer is correct.
I am my own judge. In a dream, are all the characters really you? Different aspects of you? Do answers come in dreams?

As above, so below. The human being finds himself, or herself, in the middle. There is as much space outside the human, proportionately, as inside. Stars, moons, and planets remind us of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Is there a bigger being walking with all the stars within? Does our thinking affect what goes on outside us, and what goes on inside us?
I think it does.

There are clues everywhere — all around us. But the puzzle maker is clever. The clues, although surrounding us, are somehow mistaken for something else. And the something else — the wrong interpretation of the clues — we call our world. Our world is a magical smoke screen. How should we interpret the happy song of the meadowlark, or the robust flavor of a wild strawberry?

And now, an ending.
Where there was once one,
there are now two.
Or were there always two?
What is a reflection?
A chance to see two?
When there are chances
for reflections,
there can always be two
-- or more.
Only when we are everywhere
will there be just one.
It has been a pleasure
speaking to you.
--Twin Peaks
