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.
