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.
