Wisdom is rarely handed to us. It is gathered slowly, from chance encounters, hard lessons, and moments we almost overlook. "Pinching the Leopard’s Spots" is a reflection of that gathering, and its perspective is uplifting: life can be trusted. Join Mani Feniger on an adventure that takes you from the 60's peace movement in Ann Arbor to the founding of the creative SoHo community, from the back-to-the-land movement on the coast of Maine to the sacred waters of the Ganges–an unfolding cultural revolution seen through the eyes of a young woman whose sense of wonder is contagious. Drawing from the ancient wisdom associated with the symbolism of the leopard's coat–accepting the dark spots along with the light–Mani shares the challenges and the amazing grace of her journey.
