Caving or spelunking is, without a doubt, one of the most fun ways there is to get really dirty. Caves are places to be astounded. Caves are places to be amazed. Caves are places to be inspired. Caves are places to experience the spiritual.
There's a place when one is going into a cave that's called the twilight zone. It's the area where the world above meets the world below; where sunlight and total darkness converge. The fresh air of the world above mingles with the cold, stale air from below. The sunbeams from above bend in strange ways as though they were being deflected by the darkness below.
There is something so "connecting" about caving. When you crawl through a small tight passageway and emerge into a magnificent, cathedral-like room, your own spirit soars; but you feel connected to the people who lived centuries ago and experienced the exact same wonder that you are experiencing in the exact same place you stand.
The incomparable beauty of caves can always amaze and inspire, but the feeling of being closer to the beginning of the world is a feeling that cannot be really described. It's a feeling that can only be felt when caving.
It isn't hard to see why ancient peoples believed caves to be places of great mystery and spirituality. Many cultures used caves as places to make sacrifices to try to appease the gods they thought controlled their lives.
Caves are spiritual places. They are also places of great mystery, and all of our modern-day science can't explain so many of the wonders found in caves. Oh, there are theories — lots of them — but still the wonder, the mystery, and the spirituality is there waiting to be found in caves all over the World...
Rock On & Keep Spelunking...
