To learn geology one must travel widely and observe carefully, for geology is learned through the soles of your shoes, not the seat of your pants! The earth is vast, its features varied. One must climb mountains, travel over limitless plains, watch the waves of the sea beat unendingly upon the shore, study the work of mountain torrents as they carry their load to the sea, and learn to read the character of the rock record to understand the Earth. Delve deeply into the rocks, for truth is hidden there. Take heed to observe carefully the seemingly insignificant things, as each and every phenomenon and event is an integral part of nature's process. Be untiring in your zeal to learn; and when you have accumulated facts, give careful thought to their interpretation. Let all your work be marked by ceaseless patience, tireless industry, vigilant caution, and prolonged study. Nature's deeds are not erratic. What occurs is ruled by laws. Whn one is trained to read the geologic record, the deeds of nature become clear, usually simple, and amenable to understanding and description. The Earth gives no higher or nobler task than to study nature, to unlock her secrets and interpret her deeds.
