The idea of a 'hero' asks that we think about not only their bravery but also who or what is being saved

What to say upon entering 2025? What's coming to mind is embrace the blank slate, whether it begins with the New Year, or months down the road. The great thing about the metaphor is it evokes the possibility that even if you make a mistake, you can erase it and do over-whether it's one stroke or the whole thing. Or, you can morph what you're doing on the slate like kitsugi, if necessary. As your humble blogger usually doesn't do resolutions, as have mentioned before, this whole idea might be the theme for 2025.
May you and yours be blessed this New Year,

Proper for your greatest self
