Download The Great Spring: Writing, Zen, and This ZigZag Life AudioBook Free
What does it try have a long writing life? Attracting on her many years of writing, teaching, and rehearsing Zen, Natalie Goldberg stocks the experiences that have opened her to new means of being alive - activities that point just how forward inside our lives and our writing. The "great spring" of the book title identifies the great hurry of energy that will come when you think no life will ever before come again - the early yellowish flowering forsythia, for example. It also identifies enlightenment: obstructions shatter, pain splits open, recently resisted truth releases, an popularity of transiency flows through. Natalie Goldberg stocks the moments that have sprung from her own life of writing, teaching, and Zen practice - moments of looking, wandering, zigzagging, losing, and leaping where she has found herself and her speech. In this audio tracks, we watch as Natalie "makes positive effort for the good" - one of the guiding rules of her writing life - and we observe that if we can stay attentive inside our lives, even in the middle of the ruins, "we can notice the audio of a songbird in a Paris chestnut tree". Whether we know if the song originates from inside us or out doesn't matter. 13 of the 22 essays in the book have been recently publicized (often in another type of form). Those magazines include Yoga exercise Journal, Shambhala Sunlight, Five Factors, and Creative Nonfiction.
