Actually, to me, all that was missing was that song.  Oh... what am I commenting on?  LOST, of course.  Yes, I was among the zillions of folks watching this 6 year long epic about a bunch of folks who ALL DIED. Where was Melinda? Isn't she the character(Ghost Whisperer) who tells LOST ghosts to go into the LIGHT. She did that already.  I forget what season she has to wander around a field finding LOST ghosts and telling them, "Look for the light and just GO".  Her writers must have already figured LOST out and were giving us a BIG hint.

I remember watching the first few shows and actually postulating to Frank that no one could have survived that horrific crash. They MUST be all dead, but for some wacky TV reason were trapped in a zone not unlike the biblical spots referred to as Limbo and or Purgatory. Dante would have SO approved.

So for 6 years the ghosts/souls had to connect OR not, find love, give love, forgive and be forgiven.  They were all issue driven, carrying a huge amount of baggage which would be indicative of every single human being living now.

Granted, there were many questions left unanswered.  It was a modern day Odyssey, made for the masses, filled with defining choices we all connected with from time to time.  We saw good and bad consequences, much joy, sadness, anger, bewilderment, and love.  We lived the choices, felt the emotional roller-coaster of each character. We rejoiced at redemption and nodded in agreement when justice (to us) was dealt in agonizing brutality.

The things left hanging are there for us to ponder soulfully.  Ben must forgive HIMSELF before he can enter the light.

It was an interesting ride.  I was not very surprised to see them all come together to feel the communal love that is necessary for all of us to experience.  We are all connected.  That may sound trite, but our lives here and now are a reflection of the journey the LOST souls took.

Do not forget to dance, dude!
