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.
