The Year of...

 From Jan 2024 journal:

Different Years can have different intentions. This year could be the year of:

  • exploring
  • care-taking
  • collecting
  • expressing
  • blooming
  • recovery
  • turning
  • getting big
  • resting
  • writing
  • "right"ing
  • organizing
  • practicing
  • assembling
Remembering: “There are years that ask questions and years that answer.” —Zora Neale Hurston. 

I ask Claude about that phrase.  Claude offer many examples, including (Political and Social Movements) "Year of Revolution (1948)". I like these and I like the summary:

  1. Personal and Philosophical Concepts
  • Year of Magical Thinking (Joan Didion's book)
  • Year of Yes (Shonda Rhimes' memoir about saying yes to opportunities)
  • Year of Living Dangerously (1982 film, also a philosophical concept)

This phrase allows people to encapsulate the essence or defining characteristic of a particular period, whether it's a year of significant change, personal transformation, or historical importance.
