Serendipity

My current favourite word.

The making of happy and unexpected discoveries by accident. That is what it means.

There's just this twist to this word. It is different from "luck" which implies good things arising unexpectedly. "Serendipity" seems to require just that little bit effort to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. It elegantly points out the need to sow before u can even 'reap', yet the best part is, u won't know what will grow out from the seed u have just sown. It can be a tulip,a rose or just a mulberry bush. :P Whatever it turns out to be, it will still make your day. Beautiful accidents.

Sometimes accidents just bring forth the muse we have been seeking all these while; we have been hunting it high and low and it seems to evade from us perpetually, and just at the point when we have given up looking for them, it comes rolling towards us and trips us over , haha.

Eventhough I am a staunch suscriber to the idea of chaotic randomness of the happening of events, sometimes I would like to believe that yea, we are all intricately wound around by an invisible string that weaves us into a tapestry of planned "accidents". Fate and destiny, guiding us surreptiously without our knowledge and we will one day end up at the point where we are intended to be from the beginning. There is just this mystic wonder to this idea, it gives people solace , that their lives are not just meaningless, random outcomes, that they are actually preordained to walk a path already chalked up by someone from above.

I certainly can do with some incidental and inspirational muses in my current state now, heh. But i think i need to sleep now before it is even conducive for any kind of imagination to germinate.
