Tour Wrap Up: Leonie's Leap by Marzia Pasini

 

 

A Liberation Journey

Visionary Fiction + Self-help/ Spirituality

Date Published: 06-03-2025

Publisher: Atmosphere Press

Dearheart, have you ever wondered about that tingle keeping you awake at night? Where does the fiery inspiration spark from? Why does your soul beckon you in? Consciousness is ever awake, whether you are asleep, stumbling, or taking the leap. It patiently waits for you to unlock the mysteries of your spirit and embrace the liberating journey that awaits.

Leonie's Leap tells of the adventures of a fifteen-year-old orphaned acrobat who escapes his dreary life to join the circus as a trapeze artist. Just as the daring acrobat takes the bold plunge into the unknown, your inner exploration reveals the hidden wonders within.

Your capacity to return to this wild inner landscape is the answer to your deepest longing, the home where every prayer settles. It doesn't matter where you come from or what path you have chosen-every bit of YOU knows it: you were born to live vibrantly from your depths. The world needs you to dwell in your wildly liberated heart. It breathes through your sacred dreams. Your wings. Your feet.

About the Author

I go by the name Aiy'm, which is pronounced I-Yim. I live in Boulder, Colorado with my wife Donna and cat Te'a. I am retired. I'm fairly active physically mostly hiking in the Boulder foothills and Rocky Mountains, gravel biking, skiing, and doing yard work - actually, since I enjoy it I consider it yard play. Though I enjoy all those activities, what is of most importance to me is spiritual awakening as such I love being out in nature, sitting by a creek sipping tea, meditating and journaling. I also built a tiny rustic space in my backyard for that purpose. I call it a tea-mitage. Kind of like a hermitage. I call the journaling I do Writing Passing Clouds as what I write about is more about the inward journey and not what I did during the day.

I have been regularly journaling for over 40 years. As I mentioned above, my journaling is about the inward journey of spiritual awakening. In fact, I would say that journaling has been my main ally in this spiritual pursuit, even more so than meditation and retreats. About 10 years ago I asked myself what is it about journaling that I get so much from. Certainly, I learned a lot about myself. I have come to know the way my mind works, my perceived limitations, my behavioral and emotional patterns and conditionings, and so on and on and on. But, what I came to realize what was most important about my journalings was not what I learned about myself, rather, through journaling I shifted my perspective to that of an observer and from that perspective I was able to dis-entangle and dis-identify from my conditioned thinking mind and emotions. This is very liberating. I call it the First Great Freedom. In this freedom from the conditioned thinking mind and emotions, there is a deep sense of peace, fulfillment, and happiness. I also see this shift of perspective as the first step or phase of the spiritual journey to self-realization.

My book, The Quiet Joy of Simply Being, began as being about my journaling process but morphed into being about discovering the peace, happiness, fulfillment and love we already are.
