The Daily Word for April 23, 2021

 

eurhythmic - adj. - pleasing rhythm or structure


If you happen to be a writer and/or composer of music like I am, you strive to create that which is eurhythmic. Eurhythmic is not a commonly used word. If you do decide to use it on Word or Google Docs, most likely spellcheck will remind you that it is misspelled by underlining it with that obnoxious perforated red line. Just ignore it. In the '80s, there was a New Wave group called the Eurhythmics that some of you might remember. Annie Lennox, the lead singer, has a unique sound. You can still hear her and her colleagues on a few choice Spotify playlists. The Eurhythmics are genuinely eurhythmic. 

Life is eurhythmic in content. Pleasing rhythms can be found easily in nature. You and I create beats when walking or skipping or running. Patterns and structures are also ubiquitous, but few are noticed because you tend not to look for them. 

As today is Friday, and you might have some extra time if work is slow, look around, find something eurhythmic or create something yourself. 

Enjoy!
