"Love is the cleanser that wipes the mirror bright..." - Avatar Meher Baba
Meher Mount
Your Friday photo…
Artist and photographer Natalie Farsi took this photo at Baba’s Tree on a recent visit to Meher Mount. She calls it “Mirroring Divine Presence.” The quote from Avatar Meher Baba is shared by frequent visitor Martha Aubin.
“Love is the cleanser that wipes the mirror bright and enables you to behold with increasing clarity the indivisible Entity that permeates all life.”
I place these mirrors in wild landscapes, framing and shape-shifting the living world in ways that invite another way of seeing and connecting.
The series explores thresholds between the seen and unseen, the human and more-than-human.
Through this visual alchemy — presence, reflection, and transformation — the mirror opens a gateway into the liminal realm, where perception shifts and new ways of seeing and transcending can emerge.
Here, the mirror rests in the gnarled branches of Baba’s Tree so the old can reflect the new — illuminating past, present, and future. The volcanic interior of the Earth, held within the obsidian mirror, gazes back at itself, capturing young leaves and rays of light from ever-present sources.
