Description
Serendipity, acording to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.
The etymology of its usage is intersting -- In the mid-1700s, English author Horace Walpole stumbled upon an interesting tidbit of information while researching a coat of arms. In a letter to his friend Horace Mann he wrote: "This discovery indeed is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word, which as I have nothing better to tell you, I shall endeavor to explain to you: you will understand it better by the derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale, called 'The Three Princes of Serendip': as their highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of...." Walpole's memory of the tale (which, as it turns out, was not quite accurate) gave "serendipity" the meaning it retains to this day.

(Combined two of my WM terrains wth Soundchaser's Tsalakot. Used a BMP of the texture of a close-up of a pot fired in high heat as an overlay. Added strata BMP, further, upto 250 TU.)
