We would have to find our way out in the blackness. Force them into it and they have no alternative but to succeed. We link hands and begin to move through the cave in a long line. I find myself up front, using my hands and feet to monkey along, trying to remember the turns. Moving slowly, we pass information down the line.
Trepidation gives way to giddiness.
I fall a lot, laughing quite a bit. And before long, outlines of the others take shape and we emerge muddy, covered in bat dung, and smiling. It is like being reborn from mother earth.
