Weekly Theme: Week of 09/27 to 10/03/2015

The Theme for this Week is Retention.  Google gives three definitions, each related to each other:  1). After obtaining a possession, to "retain" control over it.  2). When hearing a lecture or reading a book, to "retain" the knowledge you just read or heard.  3). After the soil (or a human body) gains moisture, the act of "retaining" it, over a period of time.

So which of these meanings would be most important to the Theme for this week?  I'd grant a modified version of #2, where what we pick up in life remains with us, whether it comes from (preferably) life experience or (as a "supplement"), book reading and/or attendance of seminars.
