Happy Sufi

This is another life sketch at the same Sufi gathering in Cairo as the previous post. This old man was so enjoying the singing and poetic recitations, that he proceeded to include some subtle dance most to interpret the music. 

Sufi Gathering

This was a sketch done from life. It was at a mosque in Cairo near Hussein(Khan El Khaili). The gathering was of the sufi order of islam, and they were singing verses from poems by islamic scholars and from the Quran. It was very much a kind of active meditaion. The man in the centre was the leader of this group, all told a very dignified and wise man of profound knowledge.
