¨#¨####¨## you can tap  into  the cave wherever you ¨¨¨##¨¨¨¨#

#¨##¨¨¨### the  cave  is  built  in,  an  intrinsic #¨¨###¨#¨¨
##¨#¨¨#¨¨¨ animal  part. it's come to be associated #¨#¨¨###¨#
¨###¨##¨¨¨ with  the  lizards, and it's  true  that ###¨#¨¨##¨
#¨¨##¨#¨¨# they  are  very  close  to  it  in their ¨¨###¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨###¨#¨ lives.  but as long  as youre an animal, ¨#¨¨######
####¨¨###¨ it's  always there, changing shape  with ##¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨#¨##¨##¨# frame  of   reference.  and  the  lizard ¨###¨#¨¨¨¨
###¨##¨### brain  is good at absolutes. in the end, #¨¨###¨¨¨¨
¨¨##¨##¨¨# the  best  and  worst  things  are  both #¨#¨¨#¨¨¨#
¨#¨##¨#¨#¨  within hearing range. everything else   ###¨##¨¨##

¨#¨##¨¨¨#¨ no object permanence. what you           ###¨#¨¨###

¨¨###¨#¨¨¨ need to act. every subsection of your    ¨#¨¨###¨#¨
