..it is helpful to think of yourlife not in terms of work but in terms of music—particularly a symphony. A symphony, traditionally, hasfour parts to it—four movements, as they’re called. So does Life. There is the first movement, infancy;then the second movement, the time of learning; the long third movement follows, the time of working; andfinally, this fourth movement, traditionally called “retirement,” though now that is an increasinglycomplex concept. It is much better to think of it as the Fourth Movement, a triumphant, powerful ending tothe symphony of our life here on earth.
