Thank you for making eye contact

12 comments

This is a real love note given to Zoë (A Girl I Knew) as she was getting off of BART the other day.

“Thank you for making eye contact. I find it to be a simple and extremely important part of building and being a community.

You have an extremely warm and sunny presence, which I really appreciate.”

This letter writer also invited Zoë for tea (“or go play on the swings”), which I also found pretty endearing. Of all the notes we’ve found on public transit lately (check out a few of them), this one is on the top of the sweet-o-meter.

Missed a connection on Muni? You can always submit your letter (or one that you found).
