This picture can be hanged according to ones mood - Nothing on top , or Everything.
My first trip to Meherabad was --- well, amazing is just a word for it. It was earth shuttering. God, who did not exist much in my life beforehand - appeared in all His glory. Other things, which were in my life for 'forever', disappeared in this 'earth-quake'.
Many of the people who were there at the time, having there own life/pilgrimage, made strong impression on me.
C. is one of them. For me he was a rock in a crumbling world. One day he came down from the Samadi (Meher Baba's tomb) and said that when he went in and bowed down - he felt nothing. So he told Baba: "Baba, all I feel is the stone". And Beloved Baba immediately replied (with that quick sharpness that comes before you even finish the sentence):
"And you are lucky to feel that too!"
This picture is about that and about how I see C.'s love for Baba.
The Idea for this picture hunted me for a years. I even tried 'selling' the idea to C. who is an artist too, and getting him to do it himself. However, I am beyond happy I knitted it. Working on Baba's hand writing (from the book 'In God's Hand') was a gift, and I could just feel Him with me. It was wonderful and now I consider it to be 'something big' and I want to send pictures of it to everybody and say : look, look...
