I was talking to a very astute Faithwriter friend yesterday, and she decided, after hearing about this week's topic, that this quarter's theme was all about ... music. Is this a no-brainer?
Flat, Measure, Rest...

Could Scales be next? What d'ya think?
Will the real Theme Maker (aka Deb) stand up to prove us wrong?

I figured it out after seeing the word measure. But that's only because someone explain to me that measure is a music thing. I have thought of sharp and tune but couldn't think of any more musical terms. I like yours Lillian. I hadn't thought of that one yet. Any more ideas?

sharp, note (whole, half, quarter . . .), bass, treble(cleff), andante, adaggio ... the possibilities are endless and some would be pretty hard

I thought of the Italian words for soft and loud--forte? Can't remember the other one, but I figure each term has to have a few different meanings. I still like scales the best, though after reading tons of snake and weight storied, I might not like it as much.

Also I really like the term theme-maker. Isn't that too a song? Wait I guess it's dream-maker but still pretty cool.

A few more...harmony, tune, and sound. Harmony would be a good one. Now, let's see. What could I write about harmony?

Ohhh, music would make sense! I was thinking it might be that verse that talks about measuring it out, shaking it flat, giving us rest... I think I'm mixing up three different verses though, so probably I'm wrong.
