"But let's not make it a tree. Meher Mount is more than just a tree."

Your Friday photo is in honor of Avatar Meher Baba’s presence at Meher Mount…

This video — an outtake from the documentary film on Baba’s Tree — shares the delightful story of how Meher Baba’s visit inspired the design of Meher Mount’s logo.

In about 2010, I approached a volunteer and friend of ours, Nancy Pinckert, who is a very talented graphic designer. I asked her if she would help create a logo for Meher Mount.

We we both looked at each other and said, but let's not make it a tree. Meher Mount is more than just a tree.

So she goes away for three or four weeks. Then she calls me and says, “I have the first draft and I must warn you…”

And I say, “There's a tree.” And she says, “Yep.”

I think of the tree as not only symbolizing Meher Baba’s presence and the spiritual energy He left, but also the coming together of heaven and earth.

And to me, that’s the whole symbol of Meher Mount.
