Actually it was a Muni bus yard moment. A Muni worker on her lunch break called a passing homeless man over to the fence. She reached through the bars to hand him a wrapped package. He opened it and was surprised to find a sandwich inside. He looked genuinely amazed by this simple, spontaneous act of generosity and said "oh wow, thanks!" Since I had just moments before been grumbling to myself about the grubbiness of the neighborhood as I carried my own hot lunch back to work, it made me feel sheepish to see someone calmly hand theirs over to someone who needed it more. So here's to not only talking to a stranger this month... but helping one out. I had a “sweet Muni moment” today. Actually it was a Muni bus yard moment.
