Walking on Earth with Thich Nhat Hanh is more than just a memoir and a travelogue. It chronicles a kind of pilgrimage experienced by Dr. Magda De La Paz Cabrero since the time she made the decision to leave Puerto Rico at the age of 19, in search of experiences that better reflected the yearnings of her heart. It relates how a variety of existential and literary experiences have transported her towards self-discovery and spiritual transformation, shaping the new way she perceives her place in the world. It tells the story of how someone like her, who grew up on a tiny island, has found sanctuaries and kindred spirits in many places. In her essays, original art work and photos, she depicts a kind of walking meditation with Thich Nhat Hanh, her Zen Vietnamese spiritual teacher, whose mindfulness and meditation teachings have guided her steps since she found him through her spiritual exploration a decade ago.
