serendipity’s fool
i love this word .. for many reasons ..
SERENDIPITY:- the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely
- it is the trading name for a luscious ice cream brand that makes divine divine ice cream ;p
- it is the name of one of my favourite ‘john cusack’ films – with kate beckinsale
- it is also one of the reasons why i get out of bed most days
i am often moved by people, things & events that touch me deeply & profoundly .. songs & movies have a way of reaching out into the ether and connecting with us on a soulful level because of their ability to use primal & powerful archetypes that we often relate to in our own lives – archetypes, that we quite often repress, hide or deny from ourselves ..
i wanted to share one of my favourite scenes from the movie as it highlights an essence of the ’subtle’, the ‘magical’ & the ‘meaning’ of it all – especially in the very last scene ..
i have a special connection with wollman rink – for some strange unbeknownst reason .. i was there many years ago before the film was shot .. and sat right where kate & john sat in one part of the movie .. blah blah ..
but it is the obituary tribute scene which is the definitive moment in expressing the sentiment for what i believe in – that all things happen for a reason if you choose to look deep enough ..
I love serendipity too – it has played a major role in my life. The more open you are to these concepts the more they manifest in day to day life. What others would call coincidence – well I’ve experienced those so many times that it seems quite natural to me now.
I loved the film too – mind you I just love John Cusack. He could stand still staring at the camera for 90 minutes and I’d love it.
