Quote #10
I don't know why it makes me sad but it does. It opens up a loneliness in me, like a hole, a deep, dark hole. The hole is threatening somehow; if it gets too big it could swallow me up, so I try not to think about it. The medicine always helps me not to think about it. (31.5)
Like his mother's Never Knows of fear, Adam has his Never Knows of sadness and suffering. When we know what it is that's making us sad, we can try to conquer it. But when we don't, it's much harder to get out of that funk.
