“Writers. Tell me, Why do you write?”

I love to write. I like to read what I write sometimes. Other times, I wouldn’t dare read over what I wrote.

Sometimes it feels like I am speaking out – when pen is on paper – like I am confiding in one who will not tell. Maybe not? But in the end, I feel much better. I don’t have, neither do I find all the answers in writing today. Still I write, I write anyway.
So if it works for you, write. Write as many times as you can, to as many people as you choose, in the many ways you can. By any means, write…
.And in the many years to come, on that vellum old and gray…you’ll look at those characters, as alive as ever in those words you did write – the words you did write as many times as you could, to as many people as you did, in the many ways you could and in the many words you found to say.

– Wintony V. Sands

2./8/2016: I write because I remember them all so well. I am alone for a minute till I visit home again. Until then, what else shall I do with – but write of – these memories. So I write.

So i am not sure about the writing experiences of others, but do tell me…why do you write?

A visit to the WORLD OF ROCKS!

Hey!

I am studying Applied Geology as well! Today I went by the Geology Museum in the area. I do not know too much about rocks but I saw some pretty cool rocks. And I thought to my self, “nature indeed is beautiful!”

Visit to the Geology Museum

I admire the rock patterns, and love that these rocks tell stories! Stories of how different environments were impacted in the past. By studying rock correlations (lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and paleomagnetism),  we can figure out similarities that lead us to tell the story!

Check out this fun exercise: We can tell which geological events happened in an environment  just by looking at the layers in its rocks. So i drew the picture below so we could tell a story together!

What is a possible story of the environment in which the rock was found? 
What are the ages of the rock layers with respect to each other?

ANSWER:

Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, Layer 5, Layer 6, Layer 7 
and then there was Folding. Then a Fault formed between the rocks. 
And then there was erosion, then Layers 10, 11, and 12.

These exercises are just fun!

So…about rocks and me, there isn’t too much to say. I really like to see polished rocks and the stuff people make out of them. But Geology is much more than rocks…it is about the earth, it’s history…and much more.

I’m so tired already. Having a long week.

Ciao!
