On the Origins of “The Cave You Fear to Enter”

It is by going down into the abyss
that we recover the treasures of life.

Where you stumble,
there lies your treasure.

The very cave you are afraid to enter
turns out to be the source of
what you are looking for.


The damned thing in the cave
that was so dreaded
has become the center.
