After the Walk

The Amazing Places the Mind Goes

Every day, my dogs and I walk around beautiful Ramona, CA. While we walk, I practice walking meditation. My concentration is on the sounds the dogs’ paws and my feet make as we touch the ground, their breathing and my breathing, the sound the leaves make when the wind caresses them, and the loud voices of some reactive dogs we encounter along the walk.

This is not a book about meditation or dog training. It is a book about philosophy of life and the wandering mind that flourishes after the walks.

It is a collection of 34 short stories. Some will make you laugh. Some will make you think deeply about your own life.

"Cecilia is perhaps best known, at least professionally, for her contributions to open source intelligence gathering and training. This book demonstrates many other sides to her, from Zen Buddhism to travel to love. The pace--you get the sense, like her dog walks--is brisk and to the point, even as the points themselves are whimsical and varied. Thoroughly enjoyable!"
