Life is effortful. We strive to achieve our daily goals, anticipate our future, and reflect on our past. Life is discursive, or moving and changing.... We plan schedules, vacations, and shopping lists. And when the discursive efforts of life take their toll--wear and tear on body, mind, and soul--we relax.
