"Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself." - Rumi
Meher Mount
Your Friday photo...
At this time of year in 2023, a winter storm brought a rare dusting of snow to Meher Mount. It melted by the time most of the guests arrived for Meher Baba's Birthday celebration on February 25, 2023.
The video and photos were captured by Kristina Somma who was a temporary caretaker at that time. The excerpted poem "Be Melting Snow" was suggested by Juan Mendez. Video production by Stephanie Ervin.
Excerpted from "Be Melting Snow" translated by Coleman Barks.
Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, also known as Rumi, was a 13th century poet and Islamic scholar. Avatar Meher Baba enjoyed listening to Rumi's poetry and praised him as one of the greatest minds of all mystical and spiritual literature.
