see that our lives are best composed of opportunities to give and receive. Like inhaling and exhaling, we thrive when we can engage in creation, cultivation, care, and service, and are equally engaged in feeding, playing, resting, and worship. As such, while we ought to attend to our responsibilities in a posture of giving (in our schooling, our work, our families, our friends, or our communities), we also ought to attend to those renewing practices with a posture of receiving (through prayer, friendship, exercise, sleep, recreation, and creative expression).
