IS THE BEST TRANSITION...
a slow transition? It probably depends on the context.
But in this switch from one secondhand tick to another, one thin calendar page peeled off to reveal a whole new year, we are betting on slowness to take us through the change. Even when you pass over a threshold, it still takes many steps to get you beyond the doorway, to a whole new part of the pathway.
We have written in the past about how some aspects of reemergence from the pandemic have felt more like reflexive movements to retreat. Emerging slowly, carrying the ways in which we've changed forever, has been the way forward for us. This new year has felt like more of a welcome shift, but still not one we aim to rush through or speed up. It's our goal to spend the month of January in transition - reflecting, restoring, reimagining. Will you join us?
The next three weeks of this newsletter will feature guest posts from a woman who did fascinating research using the Good Food Jobs posted over our first ten years of business. We hope you'll find a lot to ponder in her findings, and keep in touch with us as your questions or revelations arise.
Meantime, we'll be treating this month with the tenderness and care of slowly ripening fruit.
Yours in food justice,
Tay + Dor
