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.
