March 20, the 2022 equinox is near. For the past five years at this time, Leaping Clear editors have been attending to the final preparations to publish the Spring Issue.
Over the past few months, there have been many changes in our editorial team’s circumstances, in the technology we use to publish, and of course, in the world situation. All these conditions have led us to the conclusion that we will no longer publish Leaping Clear. The magazine will remain accessible for the next few months as we arrange for a permanent archive.
New Year's 2022
Every December, instead of selecting a small pine tree, lugging it inside my apartment, and covering it with baubles and lights, I pull out the above quote from Albert Camus’ essay “Return to Tipasa” and share it with friends and loved ones. The message of this single sentence has been the core of my own contemplative practice for the past ten years and is always received with gratitude and nods of agreement.
