It also reignites her meditation practice and motivates her to dive into Zen in search of healing. Before the accident, Katie was an elite ultrarunner with a simmering but adequate marriage who avoided being indoors whenever possible. But who is she afterwards? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the midst of hardship, Katie turns for support to the Zen practice she had long dabbled in. \u003ci\u003eBrief Flashings in the Phenomenal World\u003c\/i\u003e is a Zen study wrapped in a memoir that tells the story of a search for stillness by a woman born for wildness. Spanning roughly two years, from shortly before the accident through the long, uncertain healing of both leg and marriage, it is a personal narrative of that tumultuous time nested inside meditations on Zen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving gone from a reluctant spiritualist to a Zen practitioner over the course of a decade, Katie Arnold offers unique company for those seeking nature's exquisite highs as well as for creatives, spiritualists, and sensualists who want to slow down and examine the possibilities of a well-lived life. As the late Japanese master Shunryu Suzuki wrote, \"Sometimes a flashing will come through the dark sky.\" These brief flashings are enlightenment--moments when we suddenly feel as if we're part of everything, and everything's part of us. This book is about how to experience the flashings when they come, and about what they mean for how we live our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatie Arnold is the author of \u003ci\u003eRunning Home\u003c\/i\u003e and a contributing editor at \u003ci\u003eOutside Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
