Lori’s Notebook

Mexico: Up Close in 24 Hours of Silence

May 1, 2018

For the past 12 years, my two favorite yoga teachers have led yoga retreats in Mexico. This year was my year to attend again. In the middle of the week, we are often encouraged to take a break from speaking and interacting with others over a 24 hour period. I enjoyed the introspection and decided I would photograph what caught my eye on my walks to and fro during my silence.

My waking view through my mosquito cloth surrounding my bed:

Plant outside the dining hall:

Side wall of the dining hall:

Peeling tree:

Flowers on the way to the beach:

Frond:

My sun hat:

My morning shadow on the sand:

Rock monster:

Rock fissure:

Receding wave:

Bougainvillea:

Slatted door:

Flower:

Top of the yoga shala roof:

Woven sliding door to my casita:

Palm tree trunk:

  • Judith’s Seasons – Spring

    This is the second of four posts showcasing a series of quilts I’m making for Judith and her family in Cologne, Germany. The series is based on the four seasons, with each season consisting of one wall hanging and one large bed quilt.

  • Ellie’s Spirals

    Fun fact about the amazing Ellie Clarkson: not only was she an unrelenting Scrabble shark, but she also had a thing for spirals.

  • Gus’s Vermont Mountain

    This is the view that Gus loved seeing out of his living room in Vermont.
