Cave Series 6: The walls change…

Maybe we’re rushing it and jumping to conclusions, but as I sat in the cave dying to get out, gulping dry air like a fish out of water, holding my breath to the limit at each infrequent respiration, the walls took on a weird phosphorescence as I cried for liberation – not the usual green and purple clouds that come and go, but focalised images of light issuing from the walls, and all of a sudden there appeared before me a clay-like sepia-grey wall with inscriptions on it. And a black hole, which is a familiar sight, probably due to the scotoma – where the optic nerve exits the retina. But the black hole drifted off and was nothing compared to the clay wall that stood in front of me – not with cuneiform inscriptions as pictured here, but with unintelligible patterns that intrigued me. Streams of delight ran through my body… uh, what body? It wasn’t there anymore. It was a momentary hope of liberation from my cave, but I came back again, and wrote this... So, when you’re really dying to get out, it just might happen. You never know... they may be digging in from the other side…
