The human voice: individually it is strong; together in a range of voices, it is powerful.
  Out on the bike Saturday, I stopped in a park where a choir was assembling at a casual event in a nearby neighbourhood.
  I’ll stop, anytime, to listen to any live music.
  The voices rose high above the crowd, into and above the trees in the middle of a bustling city.
  My spirit was lifted.
  Powerful voices.
  Singing out.
  It was a non-audition community choir, people singing because they want to sing.
  Is there a better reason for a choir?
  I sat.
  I listened.
  I enjoyed.
  It was moving.
  I didn’t recognize any of the songs, but understood the message of one song in particular.
  “Don’t be afraid.”
  A beautiful theme.
  Powerful and sustaining.
  Individually we are strong.
  Together we are powerful.
