Would a person be a geo-personality if they love to sit in rock piles and play in the soil?

Answer 2

Hmmmm?
In my opinion...I'd say this is a quite simple question, for me anyway. LOL! :D

Might not be common to those that don't have an interest in the outdoors, which means they might get dirty.
Here's my theory on that though:
God made dirt, Dirt don't hurt. LOL!!!

I'd say; certainly a person could be labled as having a geo-personality if they love to sit in rock piles and play in the dirt.

In my opinion...if this is directed more towards adults, those of us that had the opportunity to be introduced to all the wonders of nature in our childhood, and discovered that exploring all the mysteries nature has to offer, it's something that simply remains with us into adulthood. As adults, it's simply our inquisitive inner child escaping the fast paced society, to return to nature.

I'm 40 and still rummbling through rocks, dirt, and creek beds. LOL! My questions? Who in their right mind wouldn't love to find an artifact of those that lived here before us? Who wouldn't be estatic, if they found a clear crystal, or an Indian Arrowhead? Who wouldn't appreciate catching a glimpse of what it may have been like for our forefathers?

To be in nature, with nature, away from the rush of life as an adult, lost in a moment of peace.
To rediscover and further explore the fascination and serenity, which is lost to many. "Just the sound of water flowing, birds singing, frogs calling, a light breeze ruffling through the trees, digging in the dirt, the excitement of finding a new treasure. It's all a moment to seize."
So...I guess I have a geo-personality, if you please. :D

geo: a combining form meaning the earth or ground. (geography)

Here's another possibility; as for what geo-personality could mean as a persons character; One who is grounded, and well rounded, strong, yet kind. One that's in tune to all that surrounds, able to withstand all sorts of change, easily adapts with time, maintains, still remains solid and sound.

Just think... if we didn't ever play in the dirt, there would never be any anthropologist, geologists, or palenotologists.
All would still be a mystery with no evidence of those of our past, or any of Earths history.

Answer 3

I must be real screwwed up, I hug rocks, boulders just to feel the power radiating from them. I draw power from them. I love rocks. They're clean, they're strong and for the most part solid.Maybe these are qualities I'm seeking in a man, which the newer generation of man seem to lack. I also have a small mountain of rocks in my yard, all differnt colors and textures, from various states and countries, and a couple from space. I have a ten pound piece of gold slag. I just love my rocks. But, I don't have a problem with it. So, if it is a disorder, then it must be a good one. I'm glad I have this disorder. Wouldn't be without it.

I went to a site up in Northern Colorado, where they were digging for fossils and bones, and those people do it for a living, and have fun doing it and get lots of money for it! I thought it was really interesting the way they go about it!
