    I grew up in a busy family, both parents working jobs that demanded their attention 24/7. I was little and rushed around, always at risk of moving too quickly, missing the bus and making mistakes.

    Luckily, my enthusiasm for the world took me from the troubles at home to climbing mountains. When I was 19, I learned something called the "rest step" from an old mountain climber. He advised me to rest in the middle of each step completely but briefly. The rest step, which I still practice today, allows me to move quickly yet still find a pause in every step. Even when needs seem most urgent, the practice of slowing down offers calm and clarity.

    In 1987, I was in Pakistan to climb Gasherbrum II. It was a very big mountain. Our expedition (探险队) faced more than its share of difficulty: A long storm wiped out most of our good and an avalanche (雪崩) destroyed our camp site. One of our party developed altitude sickness. In the face of each disaster, we carefully developed a new plan. Snow caves replaced lost tents. Soups replaced gull meals. Eventually we climbed slowly to the top, and then made our way sagely down.

    There is magic in any faith. Every once in a while, my belief in pace rises up, slows me down and shows me a view of a sunset, a smile from a stranger or a conversation with a child. I owe these moments to what I learned from an old mountain climber and have practiced ever since.
