This song is very special to me. It was the last song I sang live for Maharishi in India in 1988 and it was truly one of those defining moments. I was on the Pioneers course for 2 months where we had wonderful lectures from Dr. Triguna ji, Balraj Maharishi, Dr. Raju, many Jyotishi’s and of course Maharishi ji. There were 3 amazing days of talks from Him which got me to writing a new song. It was funny because this was probably the only course I had ever gone to without taking my guitar. I ended up singing a lot on this course which was a surprise to me. Dr Uli, the course leader, borrowed a guitar for me so I could sing at the end of the evening meetings. I was very honored to sing for all the great leaders mentioned above. Then I started writing this song, Light at the Door. My roommate, Wendy and I had some good laughs over  me writing this in a couple of days…singing it constantly. Then, the morning I finished the song, we were in the lecture hall and I was hoping to sing it. Maharishi gave such a beautiful talk that day and sent everyone off the stage to give roses to all the cps. At that moment, I was standing next to Dr. Uli, who had planned on my singing and we just knew ..no..this was not the time. So I hid the guitar behind my back and just stood there waiting for my rose. Then I heard Maharishi say, ” Do you have a song?” I was amazed…it was just like when I first started singing for Him. I said yes and He said to come up. I sat so close to him with no one else around…it was very quiet and special. I was trying to set up to see my words and I remember Doug Hening hoped up on the stage to help me. He was a dear friend and a great guy! He held the words for me so I could see them and play. When I finished,  Maharishi just looked at me and said something very sweet and then…”Now we should go and do what the song says and close our eyes!”  And that was the last time I sat right next to my beloved teacher and sang these words to Him.
