Lost and Found

My dear wife Jody and I loved the TV series Lost, about the survivors of a plane crash on a tropical island.  Years later I’m watching it again.  Would you believe there are 121 episodes?  I’m on Number 5.

Number 3 is called “Tabula Rasa” … a clean slate.  The video I’ve included begins with Kate sitting beside Jack.  She wants to tell him about the bad things she’s done.  He doesn’t want to hear it.  “We’re all starting again.”

And the music of Joe Purdy’s “Wash Away” begins to swell …

I got troubles oh, but not today
‘Cause they’re gonna wash away
They’re gonna wash away

And I got sins Lord, but not today
‘Cause they’re gonna wash away
They’re gonna wash away

And I had friends oh, but not today
‘Cause they done washed away
They done washed away

Lord, I’ve been cryin’ alone
I’ve been cryin’ alone
No more cryin’ alone
No more cryin’ here

And slowly four pairs of human beings are revealed.  Each person has been angry with the other.

Jin approaches his wife Sun, who’s sleeping under a section of wing.  He kneels down and brushes the hair from her forehead.

Boone holds a pair of missing sunglasses in front of his sister Shannon’s eyes.  She smiles at him as he walks away, also smiling.

Sayid from Iraq tosses an apple to Sawyer from America.  He catches it and his gaze lingers towards the donor.

Young Walt looks up and sees his father Michael approaching with their dog Vincent, who had been missing since the crash.

Looking on is Locke, who found Vincent, and brought him to Michael so Dad could be the hero.
