I like that answer very much.
If I may add this additional thought:
The reader fills in their own expectations of Shadow, walk in Shadow's footsteps through the story, to better experience what it means to be a pawn of the gods. Chosen by forces beyond his comprehension to carry out their will.
The quote you chose illustrates this perfectly.
Shadow simply exists, waiting though unaware that he waits, for the hand of a god to set him in motion.
