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.
