This song was inspired by a quote of Sri Ramana Maharshi. As he neared the end of his life he comforted his devotees by saying, “You say I am going away, but where can I go? I am always here. You give too much importance to the body.”
I wrote the song many years ago and recorded it in 2007 on my album “Songs From My Past – Music With Mountain Dulcimer.” I’m singing and playing dulcimer and through the magic of recording technology I’m also playing harmonium.
The song “I Am Here” has such a Scottish feel to it. I could imagine Jean Redpath singing it. Hope you and Cynthia are well. Miss you both (and the koala lamp). Love Charlotte
Cynthia, the koala lamp, and I love and miss the three of you!
