Carl Jung, Richard Rohr and others have noted that the approach we take to the first half of life may need to be reconsidered in the second half of life. The first half of life tends to be about achievement, security and identity. As necessary as these priorities are, they may not be sufficient for the second half of life. Meaning, purpose, service, encounter and transcendence may become higher priorities. How do we plait these into our lives?
