cave  
  geometry  
                  
                            
        the name is a little mis-       
   giving, because of course there is   
 no  real geometry in  the caves. you may 
 feel as  if you  are venturing into some 
 vast  structure,  but  you  are  in fact 
 leaving  any such thing at the entrance. 
                                          
     leaving physical tethers behind,     
  submitting to an inescapable darkness,  
 the world around you  becomes more of  a 
 manifestation   of   your  mind,   or  a 
 collective  mind,  with  a  shape and  a 
          direction and a taste.          
                                          
  inescapeable darkness, because if you   
 bring  a  candle  or   mount  electrical 
 lights,   the  walls   only  serves   as 
 markers   to   where  the  tiny  spatial 
 existence ends and the darkness  beneath 
                it begins.                
                                          
 like an  inverted mandelbrot,  the  real 
 cave is actually not  the  pockets,  but 
 the  black around  them.  keep  that  in 
                  mind.                   
                                          
                      
                                          
 the  moisture that  permeates  any  cave 
 worth  it's name...  it's  the water the 
 world  rose from.  it's  the  water  you 
        drown in, in your dreams.         
                                          
 the only  sounds in  the cave  are those 
 that you  make  yourselves.  they may be 
 distorted  by the stone  structure,  and 
 amplified  by  your  mind. try not to be 
 alarmed, try  to  remember  the  persons 
 and  objects  around you,  and  you  can 
 discern   a   mirage  from   a   friend.
