After a 3 hour get-to-know circle and planning meeting yesterday afternoon, Pat Robertson read us a beautiful Rumi poem, translated by Daniel Landinsky, called Isn't that Something?: 
I
like when
the music happens like this:

Something in Her eyes grabs hold of a
tambourine in
me,

Then I turn and lift
a violin in someone else,
and they turn, and this turning continues,

It has reached you now.
Isn't that something ?


Then we all went to dinner together at The Mint on Douglas Street. After dinner, Denis got his guitar and started a song. That started the ball rolling and people took turns coming forward to lead and teach songs. Happiness is people sharing a mutual passion. Isn't that something?

    Louise Jarvis has been singing all her life, but she came to choral conducting more recently, and it became a passion in 2009 after studying Community Choir Leadership Training in Victoria BC with the Gettin' Higher Choir folks. Oh Sing! belongs to the Ubuntu Choirs Network.
