Pet William Staffrd nce said that we are defined mre by the deturs(绕行路)in life than by the narrw rad tward gals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discvered the deep meaning f his wrds.
Fr years we made the lng drive frm ur hme in Seattle t my parents’hme in Bise in nine hurs. We traveled the way mst peple d: the fastest,shrtest,easiest rad,especially when I was alne with fur nisy, restless kids wh hate cnfinement(限制)and have strng pinins abut everything.

That is hw I fund myself n the rad with fur kids, a baby lamb and nthing but my everlasting ptimism t see me thrugh. We tk the cuntry rads ut f necessity. We had t stp every hur, let Banner shake ut his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and ne anther. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh frm the cld air.

Sme years ag, writing in my diary used t be a usual activity.I wuld return frm schl and spend the expected half hur recrding the day’s events, feelings, and impressins in my little blue diary.I did nt really need t express my emtins by way f wrds, but I gained a certain satisfactin frm seeing my experiences frever recrded n paper.After all, isn’t accumulating memries a way f preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years ld, I went n a lng jurney n ft in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recrding every incident, name and place I came acrss.I felt prud t be spending my time prductively, dutifully preserving fr future generatins a detailed descriptin f my travels.On my last night there, I wandered ut f my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare f the mn, and the walls f the valley lked threatening behind their screen f shadws. I autmatically tk ut my pen...
At that pint, I understd that nthing I wrte culd ever match r replace the few secnds I allwed myself t experience the dramatic beauty f the valley. All I remembered f the previus few days were the dull characterizatins I had set dwn in my diary.

I’m n lnger blindly satisfied with having smething t remember when I grw ld. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present s as t live it in the future.
I dn’t want t wake up ne day and have nthing but a pile f pictures and ntes. Maybe I wn’t have as many exact representatins f peple and places; maybe I’ll frget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.
