Sufi song: 'You Are Part of Everything..

I was just remembering part of a song this morning that I heard back when I was in college (Yes, occasionally I do have flashbacks. That's what happens when you swallowed instead of just inhaled...) and I can only think of a line from it. It was a Sufi song and the refrain was, "You are part of everything; Everything is you ..." and had a beautiful melody.

Any other Love Generation folks out there who remember this one?

Could it be the similar "Happiness Runs" song of Donovan? Not exactly those lines, but similar.
Blessings,

There's always You are everything (and everything is you) by the Stylistics, found at www.lyricsworld.com **BG**

You might find something at the link I put in this thread

I have a tape with some really beauitful songs on it, from the 60's, that my brother has the LP's of, put out by the Self-Realization Fellowship and another put out by The Radha Krsna (imagine little dots under the lower case letters) Temple

No, it wasn't the Donovan song -- much prettier tune. It had this really cool Indian flute and what sounded like Andean pipes (the really low, cool-sounding ones) under it...

Yes, this was a real song. No, this isn't a hallucination. Honestly.

Surely there are some current or former Sufis out there in the Land o' Cat....

WW, my brother remembers it. When I see him next I'll see if he can pin down some lyrics and a tune.

What's wrong with hallucinating? Some of my best times have been imaginary. Heck, I may be imagining you. I'm sure I imagining me.

Cheers

Keelhauled? Stacked out on an anthill and covered with maple syrup? Singing 1/2 tanked on a pub stool at closing time? Sipping a martini in a Manhattan Cocktail Lounge in a tux and a thin moustache?

Gimme a hint.

Cheers, Fortunato
