That word, retirement, can sound a little ominous now that I think of it. I prefer, "riding off into the sunset,"
But when I made my decision to retire from teaching philosophy after 30 years I felt a freedom from the world like I have not felt in a long time.
My sense of spiritual freedom has not wavered and allowed me to feel the pain of moving on from one life to another, the letting go and the embracing of new experience.
It is wonderful scary, like being "born again" into a new life in the world.
See you all on the other side of the sunset.
