3．An idea came to me，and I turned off the lights in the studio．In the darkness，I took off my shirt and took up the cello （大提琴）； it was the first time in my life I'd fel the instrument against my bare chest．I'd never thought about that； music scholars always talk about the resonating properties （共振） of various instruments，but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound．As I dug into the notes I imagined that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box； I seemed to be able to change the sound by the way I sat，and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body．
After improvising for a while，I started playing，still in the darkness．I heard the music through my skin．For the first time I didn't think about how it would sound to anyone else，and slowly，joyfully，gratefully，I started to hear again．The notes sang out，first like a trickle：，then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up from a hole in the middle of a desert．After an hour or soI looked up，and in the darkness saw the outline of the cat sitting on the floor in front of me，cleaning her paws and purring loudly，I had an audience again，humble as it was．
So that's what I do now with my cello．At least once a clay I find time to tune it，close my eyes and listen．It's probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I'd be thirsty for-years of playing badly have left scars on my technique-but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up to it．
Occasionally I feel a stab of longing，and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before m lights blink off，but that longing passes more quickly now．I take comfort in the fact that，unlike the way I felt before，I can enjoy playing for myself now．I feel relaxed and expansive when I play，as if I could stretch out my arms and reach from one end of the apartment to the other．A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me up．

2．Monday：Here I am，in the middle of nowhere．This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start．It's raining and the tent leaks．The hiking seemed to take forever，and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill!How did I ever let my brother talk me into this？When we get home-if we ever get home-he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side．Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree （狂购） at the mall!
Tuesday：Things are looking up．The sun came out today，so we were able to leave the tents and dry out．We're camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog．The mountains are all around us，and the forest is absolutely beautiful．W spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out．Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner，ht the fish were smarter than we were．At night we built a fire and sang songs happily．
Wednesday：We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak．From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us．On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday：I caught my first fish!We followed the stream that fed the lake．After about two miles，we came to a section that Carol sai looked"fishy"．She had a pack rod （竿），which can be carried in a backpack．I asked to cast it，and I caught a fish on my first try．Carol caught a few more．But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch，so we put them back in the stream．
Friday：I can't believe we are going home already．It will be nice to get a hot shower，sleep in a real bed，and eat junk food，but the trip has been wonderful．We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river．It's hard to believe，but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins．
