Making room for serendipity!

August 5, 2009 by Giulietta Nardone

Wednesday is upon me again. Time to answer Jamie Ridler’s fun and freeing wishcasting prompt, “What do you wish to make room for?”

I wish for myself and the world to make room for more serendipity, more happenstance, more adventure. Life feels most enjoyable to me when I’m winging it, making decisions on the fly, and trying to get lost. Yes, lost! Some of my best vacation (& essay writing) moments happen because I do not plan my every move.

The trend seems to be the reverse: to beat the adventure (and challenge) out of our lives, especially the lives of children, by scheduling everything down to the smallest measurable unit.

I took to wandering through life as a child, misplaced it as a young adult, but have rediscovered it as a middle ager. Makes for a magical life …

Muse thx,

Giulietta the Muse

    Hi, Giulietta. I so agree. Some of my most enjoyable moments happen when I take time out just to do whatever. It takes the pressure off and frees the mind to experience wonder.

    Dearest! 🙂 I love getting lost as well… apparently it makes people insane to drive with me…ah well.
