Amid the energy crisis caused by russia, Kyiv keeps going.
Severe frost brought ice,
and today I saw the sidewalks being salted.
A small thing,
but it means the city is alive.

I know many awful things are happening in the world,
and chaos often prevails.
That’s why it’s so precious to see support and care for Ukraine
(especially in moments when it feels like we’re all alone in this).
There’s so much the world can learn from Ukraine.
