Horse sh*t
Yesterday my computer was unable to finish an episode of lost. I kept getting an ear piercing screech just after one of the characters said, “Should you kill me?” It echo’s in my mind.
The horse has been repeating in my life for years now, far more than any city boy should have experienced. Probably due to my last post, I had a dream about them. I was back at my Catholic grade school poking a stick into an air conditioner. Outside the window I saw people riding through the play ground. Then I saw my aunt Jane riding bare back. I asked myself with astonishment, “Is she riding bare back?”, not convinced of what I was seeing.
I just took a brake from painting to eat lunch and watched an episode of lost. Kate was in the jungle and saw a horse but had a difficult time believing what she saw. Later she asked Sayid if he believed in ghosts and wondered allowed if she was crazy for seeing an improbable animal in the jungle.
Back at the “mind experiment / doomsday button compound” Locke and Mr. Eko discussed the odds of having a plane break apart in mid air and two sections landing safely on separate sides of the island. Then both groups finding compounds, one with a film projector, an edited doomsday orientation film and a computer that needs the cursed numbers entered every 108 minutes. And the other group finding a bible with the middle cut out and the missing part of the film stashed away. Mr. Eko said, “Don’t mistake coincidence for fate.”
They spliced the film together but the extra footage didn’t have any new information.
