(pronounced KAHN-flu-ents OR kuhn-FLUents)

Such a calming word confluence is. Its serene nature is fitting as it means a flowing or coming together or gathering at one point, either literal (like streams or rivers) or figurative (like ideas or attitudes).

Example: This month’s project meeting was the smoothest one in the development’s two-year construction period; it was a pleasant, efficient confluence of opinions, goals, and perspectives.
