(2024·吉林省长春市高三一模)Halloran has loved mountains since she was five or six,when her mother took her to Ireland during the summer holidays.They lived overlooking Annascaul lake on the Dingle peninsula.“It's a lovely viewpoint.I used to sit there as a child.I loved the freedom of going up the mountain alone,when I was nine or ten.I cried for days before going back to London because I felt I would be in a rabbit hutch(窝).”
For Halloran,life had settled into a comfortable rhythm.But then her fouryearold son died in a car accident;six years later,her husband also passed away.After the loss,she became a workaholic.She went into the office at 5 am,and worked until 10 pm,which was her stability.And it was time to make a change.
One day last September,Ann Halloran made her way to her nearest bus stop in Hove,East Sussex.She had done plenty of travelling but,at 65,was setting off alone on her first backpacking adventure.Somewhere between her first stop in Turkey and her final destination—a yoga retreat(静修)in Mazunte,Mexico—she found a new perspective.
In Nepal,climbing the 5,400 m Gokyo Ri in the Himalayas,Halloran broke her walking stick.She has osteoporosis(骨质疏松症),which makes bones more likely to break,so the stick was essential in the mountains.Losing it was a blow,but she found reserves of inner strength.
Now,she says:“Whenever I get scared,I think of myself on top of that mountain,looking out over Lake Gokyo—and beyond that,Everest.I say,if you can do that,you can do anything.”
Since the backpacking adventure,she understands more fully the role that work played in her life for so long.“Work was reliable.I knew what I was doing.I'm a workaholic to this day,” she says.“I've just realised on this yoga retreat that I have to let go of all that.The_penny_is_dropping_for_me_now.”
