Be Soft 2/26/24
What is the musical term for softness, that which follows a brass-blaring-drum-pounding crescendo?  I think it might be diminuendo*.  What a lovely word, how it rolls off your tongue ... try saying it aloud.  Diminuendo.  Ahhhh sounds like it could be a new bubble bath from Chanel.   It also subtly harkens of good things yet to come.    We are far from done here, it gently whispers.  But let's go softly for a step.  READ MORE
