From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
COINCIDENCE
Coincidence is the noteworthy alignment of two or more events or circumstances without obvious causal connection. The word is derived from the Latin co- ("in", "with", "together") and incidere ("to fall on").

SERENDIPITY
Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.

CONSEQUENCE
Consequence can refer to:a good or a bad result of (your) actions.
Or : something produced by a cause or necessarily following from a set of conditions <the economic consequences of the war>

For those of you who have put up with me banging on about serendipity , that ^ definition does not fit . Nor do the other two .
I made up the word " co-insequence " then found that it does exist within google but "has not been defined" . ( In fact that statement was followed by a definition but not a very clever one so I think it is only a suggestion from someone ) .
So , :
"Co-insequence is the improbable coming together of two or more events or circumstances which combine to produce a meaningful insight or outcome which is directly relevant to something which is or soon will be of significance to you ".
Could be trimmed a bit , perhaps  Laughing  . Any suggestions welcome .
More to the point , do you have any idea what I am on about now ??? Rolling Eyes  Rolling Eyes

When you go into a busy car park do you normally find a space just where and when you want want one , regardless of all the people cruising around on the look-out ?
