Paperback. Condizione: Good. Two powerful fathers. Decades of devotion. One fearless reckoning with betrayal, grief, and the hard work of waking up. One of America's favorite teachers, Natalie Goldberg has inspired millions to write as a way to develop an intimate relationship with their minds and a greater understanding of the world in which they live. The memoir turns an unsparing eye on her Long Island upbringing, examining her bond with her father, a Brooklyn-born tavern owner whose fierce loyalty clashed with an overbearing streak. Goldberg also retraces twelve years of Zen training under Dainin Katagiri Roshi in Minnesota, exploring the disorientation that followed his death and the uncovering of his flaws. Moving between Florida kitchens and the New Mexico mesa, this account dismantles tidy assumptions about family patriarchs and spiritual guides. Now, through this honest and wry exploration of her own life, Goldberg puts her teachings to work. Zen Buddhism: Goldberg recounts silent retreats in the freezing Midwest and wrestling with the riddle of Te-shan's tea cakes. Raw Honesty: From outsmarting an armed mugger on a St. Paul street to walking away from a harrowing Colorado car wreck, she reflects on sudden shocks that stripped away all pretense. Personal Growth: Reckoning with her family history, she captures her father Ben's irreverent charm, whether ringing a meditation bell to belt out show tunes or betting on longshots at the racetrack. Overcoming Adversity: Faced with profound grief, she chronicles the arduous struggle to stand on her own feet and embrace life without illusions.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. What does it take to have a long writing life? Drawing on her years of writing, teaching, and practicing Zen, Natalie Goldberg shares the experiences that have opened her to new ways of being alive - experiences that point the way forward in our lives and our writing. The great spring of this book title refers to the great rush of energy that arrives when you think no life will ever come again - the early yellow flowering forsythia, for example. It also refers to enlightenment: obstructions shatter, pain cracks open, previously resisted truth releases, an acceptance of transiency flows through. Natalie Goldberg shares the moments that have sprung from her own life of writing, teaching, and Zen practice - moments of searching, wandering, zigzagging, losing, and leaping where she has found herself and her voice. In this audio, we watch as Natalie makes positive effort for the good - one of the guiding rules of her writing life - and we see that if we can stay attentive in our lives, even in the middle of the ruins, we can hear the sound of a songbird in a Paris chestnut tree. Whether we know if the song comes from inside us or out doesn't matter. 13 of the 22 essays in the book have been previously published (often in a different form). Those publications include Yoga Journal, Shambhala Sun, Five Points, and Creative Nonfiction.…
