Firelight, by Ursula K. Le Guin

Firelight is a short epilogue story from Earthsea.  Ged is at the end of his life, reflecting on the rewards that giving up his wizard powers brought to him.  Maybe easier to say, having had them for awhile.  It received a Locus nomination, which was more of a recognition for her whole body of work, I think--she passed away in 2018.  This story is representative of her work, though--very rich, and very jumpy.
