Most of us, maybe, all of us live in some caves surrounded and brightened by fires that silhouette our shadows on the walls. We are confronted by them and confine ourselves to these caves instead of venturing out to be illuminated by the bright sunshine and new adventures. These caves can be created by our living environment, by our lives and, strangely enough, by our own minds. The caves keep us chained to our thoughts. We all want to get out of our caves, but we fear the unknown. This book of poetry reflects on our thoughts as we explore the world around us.

From the cavemen to Platos conception of the cave; from the mothers cavernous womb to the cavernous spaces in the wombs of the earth, from where all springs and grows; from the firstborn light reaching us from the darkest depths of space to the dimmest light that our soul sheds on the world, our love for wisdom or the wisdom of love will master us forevermore. Cave as a temporary state of being as a traverse through life as an experience and from that as a derivative to knowledge, for our development and advancement physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. We can contemplate cave as mystery, as a space of distrust of danger, darkness, lingering light, our ignorance, or innocence, yet it is a space of temptation, of strange and powerful emotions, primordial yet known to us since the birth of this world in our seemingly infinite line of evolution. Cave as a space of contradictions, a space of darkness versus light, a space of ignorance versus knowledge, of falsity versus truth, of passion versus ecstasy, of earthly versus the heavenly. Some of those caves are extremely dangerous, yet like a necessity in our unexplained ability to surrender, we surrender and we abandon ourselves in their powerful presence. We enter in with feelings of temptation, of dilemma, of ambivalence, of fear. We enter as if pulled in by mysterious forces at times unable to resist them even if we fear destruction, our own destruction. Those are the deepest, darkest most dangerous caves, yet we enter, many already have and others will and will enter them unprepared and most vulnerable. We pray for them to survive their magic powers and to exit if necessary by a miracle, to exit wiser and tell the world of their wisdom, for they will be wiser, wiser than they were before, and the one who listens of their wisdom will be wiser too. Of that wisdom I like to share with all who like to know, with my works of the Caves of the Heart. Listen as they tell in their deafening silence of the story of my surrender, of my love for wisdom, and maybe, of the wisdom of love.

The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare "the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. The allegory is presented after the analogy of the sun (508b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–511e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d–534e). Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.

The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato''s Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work the Republic (514a-520a) to compare "the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato''s brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. The allegory is presented after the analogy of the sun (508b-509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d-511e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d-534e).Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners'' reality. Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners. The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison; for they know no better life. Socrates remarks that this allegory can be paired with previous writings, namely the analogy of the sun and the analogy of the divided line.Plato begins by having Socrates ask Glaucon to imagine a cave where people have been imprisoned from birth. These prisoners are chained so that their legs and necks are fixed, forcing them to gaze at the wall in front of them and not look around at the cave, each other, or themselves (514a-b). Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway with a low wall, behind which people walk carrying objects or puppets "of men and other living things" (514b). The people walk behind the wall so their bodies do not cast shadows for the prisoners to see, but the objects they carry do ("just as puppet showmen have screens in front of them at which they work their puppets" (514a)). The prisoners cannot see any of what is happening behind them, they are only able to see the shadows cast upon the cave wall in front of them. The sounds of the people talking echo off the walls, and the prisoners believe these sounds come from the shadows (514c).Socrates suggests that the shadows are reality for the prisoners because they have never seen anything else; they do not realize that what they see are shadows of objects in front of a fire, much less that these objects are inspired by real things outside the cave (514b-515a).Plato then supposes that one prisoner is freed. This prisoner would look around and see the fire. The light would hurt his eyes and make it difficult for him to see the objects casting the shadows. If he were told that what he is seeing is real instead of the other version of reality he sees on the wall, he would not believe it. In his pain, Plato continues, the freed prisoner would turn away and run back to what he is accustomed to (that is, the shadows of the carried objects). He writes "... it would hurt his eyes, and he would escape by turning away to the things which he was able to look at, and these he would believe to be clearer than what was being shown to him."Plato continues: "Suppose... that someone should drag him... by force, up the rough ascent, the steep way up, and never stop until he could drag him out into the light of the sun." The prisoner would be angry and in pain, and this would only worsen when the radiant light of the sun overwhelms his eyes and blinds him. "Slowly, his eyes adjust to the light of the sun. First he can only see shadows. Gradually he can see the reflections of people and things in water and then later see the people and things themselves. Eventually, he is able to look at the stars and moon at night until finally he can look upon the sun itself (516a)."
