One day I was on my way home when I found myself in a big interchange. I needed to get to the other side so I went to the crosswalk. At the green light I began crossing, not giving much thought to the 11 or so soldiers crossing from the other side of the street, (happily munching on their sharwarma in a pita that they probably bought for lunch), until they (seemingly unaware) formed a human wall blocking the whole crosswalk. I found myself having to form an arrow with my hands and penetrate through their wall (no time to go around!). Consumed with thoughts on penetration I heard a cry behind me. Turning around I saw one of the soldiers had stopped in the middle of the street, looking up from his fallen shawarma to the group that kept on walking, seamlessly closing the gap he left behind.
I thought I saw a look in his eye. I thought I saw the moment he transitioned from being a component to becoming a whole, from being a part of something to being alone.
The traffic light turned green.
