“How Can I Dare?”

One of Eruch’s favorites, “How Can I Dare” is an exceedingly sweet song written by Jenny (LePage) Keating in the early 70’s. Its unassuming sentiment and simple, plaintive melody make it a most unique song for Meher Baba. I first heard it during our first evening arti at the tomb when us yanks were assembled amongst our new Australian friends during the days leading up to Baba’s 3rd Amartithi. Both the singer and the song struck us youngsters deeply, complimenting the wondrous feeling stemming from the upper Meherabad atmosphere. I recall how Eruch specifically requested Jenny to sing it in Mandali Hall on a visit to Meherazad.
