"His vibrations were like a hummingbird."
Juan Mendez
Your Friday photo is in honor of Earth Month and the wildlife at Meher Mount…
You might even see some of these residents during your visit. This photo and the following story are from Juan Mendez, temporary caretaker.
“The love just poured out of Him. His vibrations were like a hummingbird. You couldn’t see the vibrations, but you knew the vibrating. You felt that in Baba.”
Meher Mount’s hummingbirds are a constant reminder of Meher Baba’s eternal presence within us.
When Meher Mount co-founder Agnes Baron met Avatar Meher Baba in 1952 at Myrtle Beach, she recounted her first moments with Meher Baba:
“The love just poured out of him. His vibrations were like a hummingbird. You couldn't see the vibrations, but you knew the vibrating. You felt that in Baba.”
It is not uncommon for visitors at Meher Mount to see and enjoy the beauty of the multitude of hummingbirds that hover and feed from the feeders and plants around the Visitor Center.
A spectacle that is not commonly seen is when the hummingbirds fly through the water spout at the pond to wet their plumage, especially during the hot summer days.
During one of my stays at Meher Mount as temporary caretaker, I was fortunate to capture this moment when a male Anna’s Hummingbird did its fly-over to cool off.
