George Washington Carver was right when he said those words.
But listening can take patience, and courage, and the ability to stretch ourselves beyond what we thought possible.
But once we hear the secrets whispered to us, we can write them down and share the lessons we’ve learned with others. We can bring knowledge, progress, perspective, and hope.
The Pyroclastic Pen aims to do just that. Through endless hours spent on volcanic landscapes and studying the latest research, I hope to bring you the untold stories of countless volcanoes.
I’m Lainey La Shay. Come with me on these volcanic adventures and discover stories of volcanic wonder beyond your wildest imagination.
