LOST the TV Series is over. Last night I was able to take the time to sit down and watch the series finale of my favorite TV show of all time. I have to say it was very LOST-like. The show has always been the proverbial enigma wrapped inside the puzzle wrapped up in a riddle and wrapped up in a question. I very much enjoyed the finale from beginning to end.
The entire series, including the ending, is very much like life. As I sit here at the middle age of forty one years I have found that Lost is very much like my life indeed. I am a flawed character like all the people on Lost. I have a past that I cannot escape and that I find hard to get over and let go. I hold on to this fleeting life as if it is all there is. I find I am the middle of an extremely beautiful world that is equally as dangerous. There are moments of sunshine, storm, romance, danger, stress and grief. I too am wondering why it is so hard to believe in purpose and a grand scheme of things and why it is so natural to believe it. Job was a man who lived his life well and still he had much misery and more than most. Job, like the series Lost, died without all questions being answered.
My friend Rick pointed out to me that the stain glassed window behind Jack in the final scene of the show featured the symbols of the prominent world religions. It is not hard to see what the producers think. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the room where the producers have their brainstorming sessions. The discussions and creativity would be something to behold. This show certainly demonstrates the infinite creativity that Jesus put into every human being. These writers and creators cranked out the most original show of all time.
One thing I have been learning lately is that while all my questions may not get answered in a world that will always be an up and down adventure, it is all going somewhere and it is headed for a good ending and one day there will be peace. Revelation 21 keeps me going. I strive to keep my eyes on the prize and the place and the person of Jesus Christ while I relish the mystery that is fraught with ferocious curveballs and grand adventure.
