A meaningful life is constituted by a recursive relationship between three modes: being (deeply taking in and appreciating the beauty of reality), doing (being in service to protect and add to that beauty), and becoming (deepening the capacity for ever deeper appreciation and service), and all meaningful action arises from perception of beauty and sacredness rather than from perception of what is broken.
