Gately, Joelle, the veil (p. 535)

quote

In other words you hide your hiding. And you do this out of shame, Don: you're ashamed of the fact that you want to hide from sight. You're ashamed of your uncontrolled craving for shadow. U.H.I.D.'s First Step is admission of powerlessness over the need to hide. […] U.H.I.D. supports us in our decision to hide openly.

Context

Joelle walking Gately through the veil's logic: shame about shame, hiding the hiding. The recursive structure first — the next page (p. 536, in the spine) gives it the theme's name. "Hide openly" is the U.H.I.D. answer: stop the regress by wearing it.
