Mornings in Mexico (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
Mornings in Mexico is the only collection among D. H. Lawrence's travel writings that focuses on the North American Southwest. The eight essays that comprise the original volume were written between 1924 and 1925, when Lawrence was working on the novel The Plumed Serpent (1926). The first four essays are quintessential first-person narratives while the latter four describe indigenous rites and rituals. Lawrence asserts that for indigenous people there is "no division between Spirit and Matter," a state of being that presents itself as a coveted alternative to the disconnection inherent in the mechanized fabric of the Western world. His sensory-rich approach not only provides a visual and auditory experience but also immerses readers in the emotional essence of the places he encounters. With insight gained through empathy, Lawrence explores notions of identity, community, and the interplay between tradition and modernity in this blend of travelogue and personal reflection. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

Witty, self-deprecating, and heartfelt, this is a must-read for anyone interested in travel, Judaism, and the lifelong journey towards psychological wellbeing."- Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Rabbi, Author, Speaker, Television HostIn Travel Therapy, Stuart Katz takes us through his life journey, and how he, like all of us, is shaped by his upbringing and relationships with those closest to him. The stories of early childhood are sprinkled with earnest mirth and will bring a genuine smile to those who've been there. If this book were just about childhood, relationships, and faith, it would certainly be interesting but perhaps not of interest to as many. What makes this book stand out is just how profoundly Stuart's extensive travels throughout the world shape his worldview and impact his overall sense of self. Although his deep faith is resonant throughout the book, his views on so many 'certainties' change as he recognizes the aspirations of our fellow planetary travelers, and in so doing, recognizes his own yearning. We see that the best place on Earth is the Earth itself. The best people on Earth are the people themselves, and travel is the best way to kickstart a path to inevitable and healing growth."- Blaise Aguirre, MD, Harvard Medical School
