The term is called spelunking, and those who enjoy it know the adventure that lies beneath the surface of the earth. A little twist here, and another tight place there, a careful step here, and a long leap there are just normal parts of exploring deep within the earth's caverns. Sometimes the pathway is wide, and other times it is very narrow. Sometimes the dip is deep, and occasionally there will be places to duck. However, the exploration is worth the venture, and those who find the end of the path maintain a certain respect and accomplishment for finding where the tunnels run.
What about the human psyche? Where do the tunnels run there? One supposes psychologists and psychiatrist are spelunkers of sorts, but what about the person that one meets day by day. Maybe the person is known, and yet not known, and the caverns of his or her mind have bends and twists that are yet undiscovered and unexplored. One movie quotes that “a woman's heart is like the ocean” implying that there are depths that remain undiscovered, and who knows anyone that desires to venture there? “A man is a complicated being” another person shares as they wonder about the inclinations of men. The tunnels, oh the tunnels within each and every person run deep, are as tangled weavings, and run to an fro beyond the reach of human finding.
The tunnels of the heart are deceitful, and one does wonder who might ever be able to know them completely. Not even the person themselves will truly know the depths of the tunnels inside, and yet if these caverns are discovered, who would venture to go there, spend time there, and love there? Intimacy explores where no other will travel. Intimacy finds the the twists and curves. Intimacy cares to enjoy the exploration, and discovery drives intimacy to break through where angels fear to tread. Spelunk, and discover a world within people that others may never see.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
