Nescio (17)

NESCIO (17)


But, the priestess continued to search with tenacity. (It was, after all, a case of great necessity.)

And, before long, reading tarmac became her preoccupation.  It was now the priestess' primary daytime occupation.

While she privately longed for her own salvation, she'd all but given up hope. But, the signs on the tarmac had provided her with scope for interpretation: skid marks and painted straitions.

She really appreciated the aesthetics of these configurations, too.

She was turning into a connoisseur.

Wherever she looked she saw significance and clarity. The semiotics of tarmac leave no space for ambivalence or ambiguity.
