Discerning

In the temple of Sobek, on the banks of the Nile the initiate stands before entering the pool and being tested

Under water

Many passageways – continuously changing – all dangerous

In one, complete darkness

In another a blank wall

In another no end

In another the space narrows

In another the faint glimmer of light

Swim – the crocodiles are waiting
