It end to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home because the forest 1 is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than 2 because a nearly March snow had turned the roads 3. Going up a mountain road, I had to slow down as I 4a sharp, snowy curve (弯道). That was 5I saw a majestic buck deer (公鹿) standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full 6and for a few seconds we just 7 each other. His eyes seemed wise and his composure (镇静) refined. Finally, he 8his head at me. I nodded in return and signed 9my hand for him to go on. He then 10 across the road, up the hill and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and was 11 that I had been going slowly enough not to 12this beautiful creature.
Most of us rush through this 13not knowing what we are missing. We 14get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn't it be better to go slowly through our days here? Life is meant to be favored. Moments are meant to be 15. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy, not flown through at a frantic (疯狂的)16.
The next time you find yourself going too fast, slowdown. Take the time to watch the sunrise over the horizon and fill the world with 17. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them and tell them that you love them. Take the time to smile, laugh and sing. Take the time to read, lounge (闲逛) and 18. Take the time to live your life with love and 19 in all the miracles each day brings you. If you do, your life will be so much better and more beautiful. And you might even 20not hitting a deer on your way home.
