I've walked around properties and trimmed dead/suckers off trees that were not part of the job...because I enjoy taking care of trees. The meaning for me was just based line maintenance, what should be done regardless. But it was much more meaningful to the client.
A bicycle is not very meaningful as a functional bicycle if it has a broken chain and 2 flat tires....unless it a decorative lawn ornament in your yard of your child's first bike they'e long outgrown.
I think the two, personal meaning and harmonious living, can be and ideally are compatible.
