Blessing 9, Mary Daniel Hobson
We’re delighted to welcome you to the fifth-year anniversary edition of Leaping Clear!
We invite you to enjoy the many manifestations of visual art, music, and writing. In crafting this issue, we’ve found the beauty, power, and contemplative spirit of our contributors both moving and inspiring.
We’ve caught up with some earlier contributors to see where their creative-contemplative paths have been leading them. Their new directions reaffirm the depth of the creative wellsprings. We’ve also found new-to-Leaping-Clear artists whose work truly resonates with our focus on art informed by contemplative practice.
Please take your time to enjoy the issue. Contemplative works are often best experienced in an unhurried way. You can simply bookmark the issue and return to be refreshed and filled with new visions each visit.
As the season turns with the equinox, linger with Leaping Clear from time to time this fall. We think you, too, will be moved by music you haven’t yet heard, visual art you haven’t seen, new hybrid forms, and language that speaks to both heart and mind.
With good wishes,
Leaping Clear Editors
