Mata Hari
every once in a while a man is challenged by a nature that is stronger than himself. the sheer beauty and authenticity of it leaves him humble and admiring. Attitude forces position into posture to be finally overwhelmed by the Pose.
often the members of a group act as though there were no reason to prevent or discourage to keep certain participants apart. this is seen in situations in which particular dyads interfere with other purposes of the group. the access of such members to each other is limited by the body placement and posture of a third participant.

By just standing there long enough, you’ve turned the pub itself into a mirror that won’t let anyone pretend they’re not being looked at.
