I just blink my eyes in the spring and it seems I miss something wonderful. Fortunately, I happened along a trail in early spring and discovered a scattering of these shy Trillium plants gracing the forest.

​

George Washington Carver—the brilliant scientist, botanist, artist, and inventor—particularly found inspiration in the woods he loved. A gentle man of strong faith, he rose before dawn to make sure he was outside and listening for his "marching orders" before he began work. 

 

Being a nightowl myself, I confess I'm rarely up so early. Yet, I love spending time seeking nature's solitude before I begin writing. As George Washington Carver knew, it is a place to find elusive joy, inspiration, and renewed faith.
