A crack at the bottom also leaks out dark to be displaced by light. Darkness or black is an excellent energy trap. Seems to absorb the stuff readily - wear a black suit on a hot sunny day some time. >If you sleep with a blindfold, you find that it's hard to trap dark in a small >spot near your eyes.
