Smith could 'read' the proverb

 They are very small rocks, but they are rocks nonetheless. And what do these minerals tell us about how these grains form? We think that much of the Earth's water and organics ... perhaps came from comets. So what will these samples tell us about basically where our atoms and molecules came from and then how they were delivered to Earth and in what amount?

 Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. That's the earth. Why it goes around. We're the rocks. And what happens to us- the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse- why, that's just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us down. To polish us up, nice and bright.
  Chuck Palahniuk

 We've actually seen them so close that you can see the spout but you can't see the whale. You have to crawl out on your hands and knees and look out over the rocks. They like to come up and rub against the rocks.

 We'd just pick up rocks and build a pile of rocks, or trees, and you had to kick it through them.
