I'm listening to: Sugar Ray - Every Morning

Is it just me or does serendipity not exist off of the television screen, pages of novels, or song lyrics (*psst* IMO Taylor Swift is notoriously indulgent)? Is it even supposed to mean anything beyond its immediate consequences, i.e. taken as some kind of divine omen suggesting a certain course of further action to be taken; or is that all it really is? But quite clearly, any (rare?) instances of the sort would be more than welcome, and perhaps that's enough to make them so special.

That our actions are the consequences of preceding as well as components of following complex chain/web reactions of movements across time and space, and being impossible to track them all - that's where the pleasant surprise comes in whenever we encounter some form of serendipity. In other words, it is not a standalone entity and cannot exist outside of subjective human experience or perception of events. Like giftwrap, though essentially meaningless in itself, it becomes significant because of the nebulous connotations ascribed to it by virtue of our ignorance of some greater truth.

Then again, these occurrances quite possibly represent a culmination of an opportune variety of factors, of which the positive outcome is an indication that we're headed in a good direction, whether deliberately or  lacking specific intentions; hence the sign-from-above perspective. Yet, it's even more likely that many of these instances don't even surface enough to reach our attention for some reason or another and operate on the fringes of human awareness, which also makes serendipity look so lovely.



And it's warm and humid on Swanston Street
And the air is filled with electricity
And the sky is deeper than a dream
