Meditation On The Earth
a: Geochemistry ~
b: meditation on earth chemistry
What: "Reading the Essays on Geochemistry is like entering into a prolonged meditation on the chemical interactions of the Earth's crust, including the relation of the biosphere's living matter to inert matter. In fact, the perspective Vernadsky provides is often startlingly fresh. Even those not initiated into the intricacies of chemistry will find many points of reflection, not the least of them being the consideration of life as living matter."

When Looking For Oil
a: Geochemistry ~
b: geophysics
What: "For the Westcoast poster who asked me about the high butane values equaling light oil....geochemistry is like geophysics, a useful tool but I don't buy in that you can tell what type of oil is in the reservoir until you put a drill bit into it."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
