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.
