“—and things come back up and pull us back and something else pushes us forward. We make some kind of association with something and this association becomes a faith—I don’t know—just sometimes our faith in something—can lead us to the next one until finally, it’s the middle of the night out in the woods and you are on a mattress on the floor—trapped.”
