As we drove through the deserted wilderness(荒野),my excitement became stone-cold fear.I had no idea what I was afraid of,or why I was afraid,but suddenly every turn,every hill,every steep side of the mountain scared me to death.I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop.
But after lunch things changed.We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall.The peaceful place,the incredible beauty of the landscape,and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core(核心).My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
As we drove the last leg of the run,I began to resent being afraid to drive.Deep down,I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me.It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do.The day was coming to an end,and the resort was only a few miles away.I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now,I would regret it.
I signaled for my husband to pull over.I wanted to drive,although my heart pounded(重击).I started off slowly and felt the wind in my face.I smiled and sped up a little.I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out,taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless,carefree,and I felt proud of myself—proud of overcoming my fear.
