Parkinson’s is a perfect metaphor for lack of control.

Then someone came along and showed me there was a door in the room. One that I'd never even seen before. Then he opened it for me. Held my hand as I walked through it.

Curiosity is not our only motive; love or grief or despair or hatred is what drives us on. We'll spy relentlessly on the dead; we'll open their letters, we'll read their journals, we'll go through their trash, hoping for a hint, a final word, an explanation, from those who have deserted us--who've left us holding the bag, which is often a good deal emptier than we'd supposed.” IfsMatterHandsLeftProcessDealsGriefDespairLettersHatredNo Matter WhatSticksFinalsCuriosityFlamesExplanationMotiveBagsJournalSpyTrashHintsDesertedFinal Words Author:Margaret Atwood
