Cool Happy Accidents?

Happy accidents,synchronicity or as we used to call it in the 60s serendipity.This subject has always interested me as it relates to artists and their creativity.As Louis Pasteur said,Did you ever observe to whom accidents happen?Chance favors only the prepared mind.A discovery is said to be an accident meeting as prepared mind.I strongly beleive that what must come before the how.First choose What you would do and the How usually falls into place.
Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do,begin it.Action has magic,grace,and power in it (Gorthe) I have witnessed this many times in my own life and in the lives of many fellow artists and students.
Dioramist now climbs down from his soapbox Cheers! John.
