I love this pose very much. My father passed away two years after he retired. I don't know and I will probably never know why but none of us in the family was expecting that. I think I could see was that he had lost his reason to live, then started to give up his basic routine and probably a few good things that made him feel as though he could go on despite a few things regarding his health that were not that great. I think retirement, without knowing a plan to move forward and to do for the remaining time in life, is the same as death.
