FROM KAROL WASYLYSHYN'S COMMENTARY ON THE POEM BY THIS TITLE:
Having struggled with the decision to retire, this corporate lawyer suffered no loss of identity or depressive effects that can typify this life stage transition. On the contrary, he felt relieved, revived, resuscitated. He found his new life rhythm quickly—abetted by engaging non-work-related interests and the fact that his positive sense of self was not dependent upon the continuance of his career.
