TRANSCRIPT

Two cars waiting at a red light. The drivers looked at each other. A wink and a nod. No one else around. A long stretch of road ahead of them. They each grip their steering wheels, ready to go.

The light turns green and they both step on the gas. It’s a race without a designated finish line. One driver thought about what’s ahead. Their mind raced back to to the countless time they’ve been on this road. The railroad track was all he could remember.

Only one car hit the brakes in time. The other car met the train.

The Page of Gnosis is the bearer of knowledge and logic. Smart, unique, likely told they were smarter, or better, than others as a kid. But that distance and deference has made them feel separate from the world that they are a part of.
