‘Serendipity’

‘Fairy Atop a Tulip’
by Amelia Jane Murray (Lady Oswald) (1800 – 1896 British)

This beautiful card is about how unpredictable life can be, and how anything can happen, anytime. The nature of our lives is one of fluidity, as life has its own flow, despite all the best made plans one may have. And life can also have a sense of humour, giving one what they need instead of what they want, changing course at the last moments, introducing friends and lovers at seemingly inopportune times. Your life is not only yours, but others too, a sharing, a dance, a wandering. It is also life’s life, with its own designs. And in all that is the magic, the surprise, the joke. Life is a river, taking one where it will, in whatever willy way it wanders.
