This reflection and these photos come from Ryan, o This reflection and these photos come from Ryan, our nature-based healing lead, and are from a recent staff email we wanted to share beyond our inboxes.

❄️❄️❄️

Last week I noticed how several inches of snow and ice fell and stayed and (at least temporarily) changed things for so many of us. Fayette County Public Schools had to cancel the entire week for in-person instruction. Roads were impassable for part of the week. We were all inconvenienced. 

But when I looked out the dining room windows and saw the clear blue sky, and the snow reflecting the unobstructed sun, and our space filling up with sunlight, I also got to notice that nature is not at all inconvenienced. 

Trees remain dormant. They were prepared for something like this. The flower stalks in the garden are unbothered. They stand where they grew, holding ice, reflecting the light as if they were lit from within. The blanket of snow covering the farm, the house, even the road for now, is a visual challenge to my sensibilities.

Where I expected ground, all I see is a frozen landscape. It is like an ocean swell too cold to roll any further, brilliant in the sunlight. 

I did have things planned, and the things I planned just could not happen. But I did pause long enough to receive the winter's gift, this interruption, and this cold clarity. Then I wrapped it up in an email so I could share it with you.
Shop & Share is in one week! Huge thanks to all o Shop & Share is in one week!

Huge thanks to all our amazing volunteers!! We couldn’t do this without you! 

Here are the Kroger stores where our volunteers will be set up on February 7. 
 
In Lexington: Alexandria, Beaumont, Boston, Bryan Station, Chinoe, Euclid, Hartland, Leestown, Lowry, Newtown Pike, Richmond Rd., and Tates Creek. 
 
We’ll also have volunteers at the Kroger stores in Danville, Winchester, Nicholasville (Bellerive, E Brannon, S Main), Harrodsburg, Stanton, Georgetown, and Versailles. 
 
When you Shop & Share, we’d love for you to post and tag us on Facebook and Instagram so we can celebrate you! Our community’s support helps keep our emergency shelter pantry stocked for almost a year. 💜
