Why We Wave at Our Neighbors Even When We Don’t Know Their Name

May 08, 20251 min read

It’s a quick hand raise. Maybe a nod. Sometimes just a smile through the windshield.

We wave. Even when we don’t know their name.

It’s one of those beautiful, unspoken things that holds a community together. The wave says: I see you. You live here. We’re both trying to make it through this day without stepping on a Lego or overcooking the rice. It’s a tiny but powerful way of saying: You belong.

I once waved at a woman for months before we ever spoke. We were on opposite walking schedules—me heading out with my tea, her coming back with her dog. When we finally talked, it was because her dog ran straight to me like we were old friends. Turns out, she thought I looked familiar, too. The wave had built something before the words ever did.

Waving costs nothing. Takes two seconds. But it creates a thread—thin, but real—between people. It opens the door for conversation later. It softens the silence. It reminds us that even if we’re not sharing Sunday dinners or swapping sugar, we’re still part of something together.

So whether you’re walking the dog, pulling out of the driveway, or just catching someone’s eye across the parking lot—go ahead and wave. You never know what it might lead to.

Know a local do-gooder, quiet hero, or everyday Samaritan? I’m always looking for stories worth sharing in MargeauLand. Send them my way — we shine brighter when we lift each other up.

As always, you belong here.
