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:

Shower floor:

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:

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Allan’s Wings

    Back in the winter of 2021 when my work was featured in What Women Create Magazine, I received a lovely email from Tricia in South Carolina who was touched by the article, enough so that she saved it in her files, knowing that one day she would reach out again.

  • From Lace to Snowflakes

    I was fortunate enough to have met both of my Austrian great-grandmothers.

  • Carmen’s Merienda

    It is always bittersweet when previous clients get back in touch to request a memorial quilt in honor of an additional family member who has passed away.
