“Om” –Don Draper
In the final scene of the series finale of Mad Men, Don Draper sits in the lotus position on the Pacific Coast. Alongside post-60’s hippies with withered flowers in their hair, and fellow corporate types who live among the expired horseradish sauce and leftover meatloaf in the cold dark refrigerator, Don sought a rebirth. His sordid past – the identity he robbed, the women he scorched, the fabricated walking advertisement that is the post-war alpha male persona – drips through a storm grate three thousand miles away on Madison Ave., not to resurface until the hard rain of habitual self-destructive behavior cause the sewers overflow again.
