Daily Divine: Zoolander 2

8/15/2016

 
A while back, we were eagerly awaiting the recent release of Zoolander 2.

The movie was some 15 years in the making.
 
Not all of you know this, but my first real job was as a fashion copywriter for Nordstrom; I wrote ads for all the designer looks: Yves St. Laurent, Givenchy, Chanel, all the big fashion houses of the time.
 
So I’m really familiar with the tongue-in-cheek world of Zoolander: the runway shows, the couture houses, the celebrities.
 
When Zoolander 2 came out, it was like visiting an old friend: all of the old jokes where there, and we got them. Everything was referential: we got it. It was like being on the inside, being an insider.
 
We got it.
 
Is Zoolander 2 a great movie? That’s for you to decide.
 
But the idea of sharing referential history is fascinating.
 
Having a referential history, the way we do with with long-time partners and spouses, with family, with old friends, with people we’ve known for along time as colleagues, neighbors, community… it’s really important.
 
It’s not necessarily that they know us, any better than anyone else: because let’s face it, often family knows us less well than a new friend we might meet.
 
It’s that that they were there: they experienced it with us.
We know all the old jokes.
We know all the old stories.
We share the history.
We get it.
 
In a lot of spiritual awakening, it becomes really common to think you have to toss the baby with the bathwater: that you have to turn against all those people from the past who don’t “get it” like you do, or who don’t see things as you now do.
 
We all need to go through this breaking away process: from leaving group thought and stepping into the understand of the self as soul essence.
 
However…
 
There’s great value great comfort, in returning now and then to review all the old jokes, the old story.
 
Having a referential history with someone, with many people, brings us back to our deeper humanity .
 
We’re all in it together.
On this planet.
In this time. 
 
We’re here to be witnesses to each other.
We’re here to be part of it for each other.
We here to get it. 

Much love,
SARA

I loved reading this. I've just connected with an old friend and it was great and almost surprising to find that we totally understood each other on another level. We hadn't seen each other for years and we jumped in and started chatting like we saw each other yesterday.

I also loved it because I began my career working for Vogue Magazine. It's a world so far from where I would choose to take my first steps now but I have learned so much along the way and of course am still learning. Thank you so much for sharing your divine inspiration.

Thank you, Catherine! Yes, it is funny how people we love are the same, even after years apart. We just pick up the soul connection where we left off.

Loved this one Sara. I have such dear childhood friends one that is in a particularly rough patch at the moment. Since she doesn't live close enough to see frequently, I began a process of sending her a daily card - and the dilemma of what to write struck early on. It is those childhood memories, things we did together, family belief systems that bring warmth and laughter to my daily note. 'There’s great value great comfort, in returning now and then to review all the old jokes, the old story" and the remembering the people and places. Food for her soul and mine in ways I never imagined.

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift, Teresa. A daily card! How lovely to just feel that love every day. :)
