Meeting — a worked example

Emily Chapman and Oliver Fletcher. Six measures, each counted from the two strings.

The words in the “between” row exist only while these two names stand side by side: neither person's own reading contains them, and neither one could.

The word between

Words that exist only when your names stand together: hearth, hammer, anchor, healer, ration, thorn.

Rhythm

The same rhythm: 5 each. Your names run on one beat.

Impact

Both flowing. Neither strikes first.

Roots

Different roots, same family: occupational. Your lines did similar work.

What neither has

Neither of you has: b, d, g, j. A shared blind spot.
