Coddiwomple

It appears to me that coddiwompling is much entwined with serendipity. Coddiwompling is to travel purposefully towards an as-yet-unknown destination. A coddiwompler is comfortable getting lost because he / she knows that’s where the truly worthwhile opportunities and aha's are to be found. Serendipity is bound to be encountered when one is open to new possibilities and welcome surprises. By these definitions of the word, I have been coddiwompling all along most of my life. I like to spontaneously and impulsively simply take the next ride that crosses my path, be it a bus a train or any other mode of transportation. I also often choose which road to take at cross roads at the very last moment. I like to simply follow my gut feel. Of course I am also aware that my decisions are influenced by my conscious and unconscious biases. Nonetheles, since I have no way of knowing what exactly lies ahead, coddiwompling is my way of saying, "your will be done, and not my will". Show me the way, I will follow.
