Serendipity: Let us remember the word. With so much control over lives
and slicing and dicing going on the harden peoples views vs. à vs. one another - let us not forget that serendipity is still ours... the chance meeting of two like minds, posting an idea on the web and being one of a 10 thousand that day - who thought the same thing..and affected the world, smiling at the very person who needed it more than anything that day.

Let us not loose that. Especially not with all the myths and political discipline we face. We still have good luck. It may seem to be waining - but that is just the diet of fear we have been fed. Serendipity is still out there. Use it or loose it!

And since it comes to us from a Persian myth - let us hope that the Iranian PM finds some with the west.Perhaps George Bush will find some too - and his heart will melt a little
