About this audiobook

From bestselling author Natalie Goldberg, here is the story of her life as a spiritual seeker struggling to “free the writer within.” Threaded with the story of Goldberg’s 12-year relationship with legendary Zen master Katagiri Roshi, Long Quiet Highway illustrates the challenges—and rewards—that unfold when a Western student seeks a teacher of Eastern wisdom. Observant and relentlessly honest, Long Quiet Highway is a reflection of the people, places, and experiences that helped Natalie Goldberg discover the transformational power of writing and the truth of the spiritual life.
