Katie Arnold: Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World

August 29, 2024

Ultramarathon runner, Zen practitioner, and author Katie Arnold shares her compelling story of running, Zen, writing, and living life – all through the lens of not-knowing and accepting uncertainty. Katie’s recent book, Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World, emerged in the aftermath of her father’s death, her associated anxiety, and a life-altering accident that occurred while rafting a whitewater river. “Brief flashings,” she says, “are moments of wonder that make us feel alive and connected.” Katie invites us to notice that these flashings are happening all the time, and sometimes life turns in a way, or two or three, that brings us in close contact with only the present moment, the flash of wonder at just being alive!
