accidentally discovering something fortunate
while looking for something else entirely
The word derives from an old Persian fairy tale
“life is not merely a series of meaningless
accidents or coincidences . . .
but rather it’s a tapestry of events . . .
that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan . . .
if we are to live life in harmony with the universe . . .
we must all possess a powerful faith
in what the ancients used to call fatum . . .
what we currently refer to as destiny.”
dialogue from the movie “Serendipity”
Sooner or later, most of us
encounter “love at first sight”
encounter “love at first sight”
we know it isn’t love, it is intense chemistry
. . . or is it?
The movie Serendipity is one of the most unusual romantic love stories I have ever seen . . . what a concept . . . I think about all the time since serendipity has happened for me several times in my life . . .
Here is a synopsis of the movie:
It was a busy holiday rush shopping day . . . two strangers among the masses in New York City . . . Jonathan meets Sara in a busy department store when both try to buy the same pair of gloves . . . their paths collide and they instantly feel a mutual attraction.
Despite the fact that each is involved in a relationship, Jonathan and Sara spend the evening traveling Manhattan and are quickly forced into pondering the question “what is the next step?” when the night reaches its inevitable end.
When Jonathan suggests exchanging phone numbers, Sara proposes an idea that will allow fate and destiny to take control of their future.
If they are meant to be together, she tells him, they will find their way back into the life of the other.
The movie is about their seven year journey back to each other . . .
a beautiful story of fate and destiny that asks the question . . .
“Can once in a lifetime happen twice?”
The Greeks didn’t write obituaries . . .
they only asked one question after a man died . . .
“Did he have passion?”

Passion, romantic chemistry and “love at first sight”
is all that . . . it is everything, a beautiful gift!

If you've been reading my blogs, you'll know I strongly believe in fate and destiny. When I had given up on ever finding love again and embracing my solitude after becoming a widow, a wonderful online friendship turned into finding that "twice in a lifetime" love.
