Today I was outside picking up the bits of litter that have been strewn about my yard and alleyway. I was outside, in the alley, outside my fence, when I stumbled upon a bit of interesting garbage.
A small sheet of blue notebook paper, like from a notepad. Similar to the kind that I take notes on and make grocery lists with. There were some words on this paper, words about “Lost”, about John Locke, about Adam & Eve and about the island in general.
I had actually written this note, a few weeks ago, while watching “Lost”. I thought I had gotten rid of it. I normally shred most notes and papers; I even shred my grocery lists. However, I apparently just tossed this note into the trash, where it was picked through by the dumpster divers and then tossed to the wind.
And then I found it, outside of my home, outside in the world.
I felt a bit like Locke, actually… stumbling on to the next piece of the puzzle. I looked up and saw a flock of birds overhead, a sort of signal from the world that said to savor this “coincidence”. The birds flew past the crest of my house. I tried to follow their flight path, straining my neck, but they had flown past the face of the sun, and I was blinded in the light. I wondered, “Is that the same sun that that shines down on them on the island?”
The note, in its entirety… it contains speculation about “Lost”:
- John blinks like the compass, stones blink (the world with the filled-in well -> John is gone, but has been resurrected because he blinked.
- Charlotte blinked out
- Statue: Aaron-Ji-yeon?
- A&E / stones
-
toes - A&E?
- the island is the combined dirt and knowledge of all possible worlds mixing with each other
