Preface
This book is part of what we call The Parachute Library. Like all books in that Library, it is not intended as a substitute or replacement for its best-selling centerpiece, What Color Is Your Parachute? A Practical Guide for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (ten million copies in print), but as a supplement to it.
Why do we need a supplement? Well, each time of Life has special issues and special challenges, where we all could use a little extra guidance. The time of Life from age fifty, on, is one of those times. I have a friend named John Nelson, who is an expert on that time of Life, and therefore I have asked him to write this book.
My contribution to this book is twofold: (1) To frame some of the questions and challenges during this period, as I have done in my earlier work The Three Boxes of Life, and How to Get Out of Them: An Introduction to Life/Work Planning (1978). (2) To write this introduction and overview, to get us going.
The time of Life that we are talking about here is traditionally called “Retirement.” Some people love that word. I’m not one of them. For me, it implies “being put out to pasture”—to borrow an image from a cow. It implies a kind of parole from a thing called work, which is assumed to be onerous, and tedious. It implies “disengagement” from both work and Life, as one patiently—or impatiently—waits to die. It thinks of Life in terms of work.
I prefer instead to think of Life in terms of music. My favorite metaphor is that of a symphony. A symphony, traditionally, has four parts to it—four movements, as they’re called. So does Life. There is infancy, then the time of learning, then the time of working, and finally, this time that we are talking about, often called “retirement.” But if we discourage the use of the word “retirement,” then this might better be called the Fourth Movement.
The Fourth Movement, in the symphonic world, is a kind of blank slate. It was and is up to the composer to decide what to write upon it. Traditionally, the composer writes of triumph, victory, and joy—as in Beethoven’s Symphony #3, the Eroica. But it may, alternatively, be a kind of anticlimactic, meandering piece of music—as in Tchaikovsky’s Symphony #6, the Pathetique. There the Third Movement ends with a bombastic, stirring march. The Fourth Movement, immediately following, is subdued, meditative, meandering, and sounds almost like an afterthought.
Well, there are our choices about our own lives: Shall the Fourth Movement, the final movement, of our lives be pathetique or eroica—pathetic or heroic? Your call!
I like this defining of our lives in terms of music, rather than in terms of work.
To carry the metaphor onward, in this Fourth Movement of our lives, we have instruments, which we must treat with care. They are: our body, our mind, our spirit, and what we poetically speak of as our heart, which Chinese medicine calls “the Emperor.”1 Body, mind, spirit, heart. Some of these instruments are in shiny, splendid condition. Others are slightly dented. Or greatly dented. But these are the instruments that play the musical notes and themes of this time of our lives.
The traditional notes are: sleep, water, eating, faith, love, loneliness, survival (financial and spiritual), health care, dreams (fulfilled or unfulfilled), and triumph—over all adversities—and even death.
Traditionally, the themes for this period of our lives also include planning. But I believe the outstanding characteristic of the Fourth Movement in our lives is the increased number of things we call unexpected. And that can knock all our plans into a cocked hat. So I prefer to say that one of the notes we strike, is how to handle interruptions. Martin Luther King, Jr., perhaps put it best, just before his death:
“The major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions—the door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed, or that lovely poem that didn’t get written because someone knocked on the door.”
Interruptions, in music, are the pauses between the notes; they are, in fact, what keep the notes from just becoming a jumble. Just listen to the first few bars of Beethoven’s Fifth. Thank God for the interruptions, the spaces
