"I will often find the opportunity to do a 'quick draw' in my sketchbook."

Your Friday photo…
Bees buzzing around a rosemary bush at Meher Mount prompted this playful drawing by temporary caretaker Kristina Somma.
“Meher Mount inspires me to be aware of Meher Baba’s presence in nature.”
With vast skies and beautiful grounds, wandering around Meher Mount is a tranquil meditation.
I will often find the opportunity to do a ‘quick draw exercise’ in my sketchbook. This exercise is not meant to be serious or perfect, only playful and lighthearted. It’s a way for me to be present, to listen and to look for what captures my attention.
One morning when the birds were singing and splashing in the fountain, I heard an amazing amount of buzzing coming from the rosemary bush by the Visitor Center.
Watching the bees swarm over the blossoms, I was inspired to pick up my sketchbook to do a quick draw. Later, I added some watercolor and played with my new paint pens.
This is just one example of how Meher Mount inspires me to be aware of Meher Baba’s presence in Nature.
And each time I visit, I make sure to bring my sketchbook, my journal and my camera — finding this inspiration, I bring that energy home with me and share what I find with family and friends.
