Stretching

Today, I saw a woman stretching her body on a roadside railing on the road, just around the corner. Vehicles were flashing along side among yellow lights, still it was dark. I passed through the woman. After I spent some time thinking about this. There were many of those green and standard railings. It was not a place to do exercise. The others were all the same. Their function was only a fence. There was no specific reason to make a woman lean on it, no why, but making sense, about being there and not occupied. Its stability stood up to the function she required. As a human, she created their relation, a physical match between an individual and a supporting object. The woman was active, and the object passively allowed her movement, by nature. She and it happened to be right there. Their physical characterizations fit each other unconsciously and seem perfect. The woman might have known she had choices. But she still chose the one without consciousness, had all she needed. Beyond all this, I was just nobody, who squeezed away behind her.
