The cave sleeps (with that rock on top)​

​

In a fragment of The Demons, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the reader is told: Life is pain, life is terror and man loves life because he loves pain and terror, and there is all the deception. Now man is not yet what he will be. There will be a new man, happy and proud. It will not be the same for that man to live or not to live; that will be the new man. He who conquers pain and terror will therefore be God. And the other God will cease to be. In The cave sleeps (with that rock on top) a new beginning glows in a warehouse where a handful of older women have gathered. They are tired of waiting, and that keeps their fight from becoming meaningless. This is no longer the time to return home, seek their roots, find Eden again. These places no longer exist and therefore must realistically be rediscovered through what is available. Now it is time to consider what is to come or what remains to be lived.
