Have you ever read a book that is so special that you tell yourself you’re going to have to read it every year? And then you do?
When I first read ‘The Long Quiet Highway’ by Natalie Goldberg, it changed my life. I loved how she not only wrote a beautiful memoir, but also showed the importance of spirituality and writing practice in her life.
I loved her concrete imagery … the sensuousness of her writing … how she could make growing up in American suburbia and eating a pastrami sandwich seem special – almost exotic. I loved how she wrote from her soul and heart … as if the words from her pen were channelled with fresh aliveness.
Natalie Goldberg is a writer and Zen Buddhist. Her spiritual practice brings a fresh approach to writing and offers ‘safety’ to young writers keen to take a ‘leap of faith’ and put pen to paper. She is passionate about the art of writing … asking people to delve into their inner most feelings, sensations and dreams … and from this place, teaches new and experienced writers to develop a daily practice that rejuvenates their soul.
