¨##¨#¨¨¨¨# 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 #¨####¨¨¨#

###¨¨####¨ brain is good at absolutes.  in the end, ¨¨¨#¨¨#¨¨#
¨¨¨#¨#¨¨¨# the  best  and  worst  things  are  both #¨¨##¨##¨#
