"Grounded, heartbreaking, and full of hope, Let the Whole Thundering World shows us how to meet the reality of illness and recovery head-on with courage and grace. Natalie Goldberg's lifelong dedication to writing, art, and her practice of Zen is an inspiration."--Ruth Ozeki, author of Tales for the Time Being "With alert stillness infused with intention, Natalie Goldberg meets mortality head-on. Beautifully written, this is a book about love, loss, and down-to-the-marrow courage."--Wendy Johnson, author of Gardening at the Dragon's Gate "This is the book that didn’t exist: an unflinchingly gorgeous exploration of being sick while being very much alive. Natalie does not turn away from her pain and fear, but faces them directly, often with great tenderness. The result is that we can’t look away either. By not shielding us from her sorrow, we see more clearly our own. Let the Whole Thundering World Home is both generous and wise, glorious proof that our darkest moments are also our most illuminating, that being vulnerable is an act of true courage, and that often we are most present and awake when our future is uncertain. This book is is both a comfort and a wonder. I couldn’t put it down."--Katie Arnold, author of Running Home
