為山林植一株流蘇樹

三月七號的活動拖到四月才貼
史上最會拖是我XD
.
活動名為「一樹一山」
想是以一棵樹為起始 開遍滿山的白花吧～
很開心能有這個特別的體驗
否則城裡的我 哪有機會在花盆以外的土壤植樹？
此行也學到植樹的重點步驟
.
在適當的地點挖夠深的土坑(比想像的困難許多 很扎實也很多石塊)
栽下樹苗 回填土壤(保持樹幹在相對低處 才容易匯集雨水)
以三根竹竿協助穩定樹苗(要用工具或石塊敲入土中 再用布繩綑緊)
在離開前送上最後的禮物 一桶甘甜的清水 緩緩澆灌根部
.
很佩服活動的主導人 @wind0411
有理想 有執行力 號召力
而我就是抱著和朋友出遊 體驗的心態去拍幾張照片罷了
在我思考活動的意義時
不免懷疑我們種這幾棵樹有什麼助益
為山？為氣候？為生態？
還是要種更多才能有意義呢？
.
男孩和海星的故事給了我答案
也許拯救不了所有沙灘上海星
不過 對於被拯救到的每一隻海星
是滋潤的海水 是充滿希望的生命
.
也許三年後
「小花一號」「小花二號」等八位孩子
他們開枝散葉 根深柢固 不再需要竹竿時
會享受這片天和微風
小學的學童們會在樹下嬉鬧遮陽
蜜蜂蝴蝶會在花穗旁飛舞
鳥兒會在枝葉間休憩輕唱
這些足以作為這次揮汗如雨的意義吧？

Call me King of staling
This was an event on 7 March but it’s not posted until April lol
.
The name of this event is “One tree, One mountain”
It should be more or less about something starting from a single tree towards flowers all over the mountain?
I’m thrilled to be able to experience this for where in this city can I get the chance to plant a tree except the potted plants I keep?
I also got some insight to the key steps of planting a tree.
.
Dig deep enough at the right location (it’s much harder than it sounds as the ground is very solid and full or rocks)
Plant the sapling and cover it with soil (it has to be kept relatively low so that it can be moisturised by the rain
Stabilise the sapling with three bamboo sticks (secure them in the soil by knocking them into the ground with rocks or other tools, and then tie them with ropes)
Give your parting gift (the source of life - water) at its root
.
I admire the organiser @wind0411 for his ideals, execution and charisma while I was just hoping to hang out with my friends, gain some experience and take some photos
I couldn’t help but think about what good is it to simply plant a few trees?
For the mountains? For the climate? For the eco system?
How many more have to be planted to be relevant?
.
The story of a boy and starfish enlightened me.
Saving all the starfishes on the beach is impossible but every starfish represents a hope of life longing for the healing ocean
.
“Little tree 1” “little tree 2” and the other six may not need the bamboo sticks anymore when they are fully grown and their root fully crawl into the ground
They may enjoy the sky and the breeze;
Shelter the students and kids playing underneath them from the sun;
Watch the bees and butterflies dance at nearby flower fields;
Be the base for the birds resting and singing on their branches
These may be the real meaning for this sweaty event I guess?

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 20: Toucheng by Train
2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第二十集： 搭火車到頭城

Transcript 文字稿:

Today we’re going to Wushi Port in Yilan where there’s a fantastic museum, seafood and a beach that surfers love.
今天我們要到宜蘭的烏石港。這裏有間很棒的博物館，海鮮，還有一個衝浪玩家非常喜歡的海灘。

I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to try new things, play with new toys, and visit old places in a new way. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
我是米雪拉，在美國矽谷長大，回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者，喜歡嘗試新東西，玩新玩具，用新的方式體驗旅行。台灣好好玩，到底有多好玩，讓我和你分享。

To get to Wushi Port, take a train and get off at Toucheng. You can pay for your tickets by tagging on and off with an Easycard or iPass.
想要抵達烏石港，大家可以搭火車到頭城站，用悠遊卡或一卡通刷上刷下就好了。

This is Toucheng Station. Toucheng literally means “first city.” Between here and Taipei lies that, the Hsuehshan Mountain Range. This was the first city that was developed on this side of those mountains.
這裏是頭城站。「頭城」意指是「第一個城市」。這裏和台北之間隔著雪山山脈，這裏是從台北過來第一個被卡發的城鎮。

This is Wushi Port, the latest reincarnation of it, actually. The older and much smaller one is over there. Come on, I want to show you.
這裏是烏石港，最新的烏石港。舊烏石港比較小巧一點，就在那邊。

Wushi by the way means “black rock.” Those dark rocks in the middle of the old port over there is how this area got its name. And the funky looking building behind me, that’s the Lanyang Museum.
「烏石」顧名思義，是黑色石頭的意思。那幾顆從水裡面冒出來的黑石頭就是「烏石港」名字的由來。我的背後那棟長得很奇妙的建築物，就是蘭陽博物館。

The outline itself is really interesting. What do you think it looks like? A crashed spaceship? A mountain growing out of the ground? The architect, Kris Yao, wanted it to resemble the natural landscape around here - rocks that that jut diagonally out of the earth and the ocean.
光是輪廓就很有趣。大家覺得這長得像什麼呢？一艘墜落的幽浮？從地底下長出來的一座山？建築師姚仁喜希望它呼應這裏的自然景觀，看似從海裡和地裡斜斜突出的石頭。

The shape of the building and the big pool of water in front of it makes a really good picture. Looking at the building makes me feel like I’m hearing music. No, I’m not crazy. I love it!
這棟建築的形狀，還有前面的大水池讓這裏成為一個非常適合拍照的地方。看著看著，我覺得我好像聽見音樂了。我沒有發瘋，我就是好喜歡這個地方！

Kris Yao used 12 different materials for the facades. Each material represents one specific musical note. He mapped the score of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” to the facades of this building. I think it’s quite clever! And I love the space!
姚仁喜在牆面上用了12種不同的材質，每一個材質代表樂譜上一個音，姚仁喜將韋瓦第四季的樂章用這個方式表現在真個建築的外觀上。我覺得好聰明！而且我好喜歡這個空間喔！

The exhibits here are nicely presented too. In the main hall, you’ll learn about flora and fauna found in Yilan.
博物館裡展示品的陳列也做得很好，在主要的展示區可以認識宜蘭的動植物。

This is the scaly anteater. It has special meaning to me because my university’s mascot is the anteater! Zot zot.
這是只穿山甲，對我來說有特別的意義。我大學的吉祥物就是穿山甲。

There are displays on nature, culture, everyday life and lots of other things, like the farming and fishing industries.
這裏的展示範圍還涵蓋了自然，文化，日常生活，以及農漁業等議題。

This is a real fishing boat! A lot of the exhibits in this museum are interactive and that’s why I love it. Of course everything is really well laid out, too. There’s so much to learn if you slow down, look and think about what you’re looking at. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough time in one day, so I have to come back!
這是一艘真的漁船喔！這裏很多展示品都是互動式，我很喜歡這部份，我覺得整個規劃都很棒。如果慢下腳步去思考你正在看的東西，你會有很多很多收穫，也會發現花一天的時間都不夠，以後還要再來！

Where can you eat if you’re hungry? There’s a seafood market here.
肚子餓的話可以去哪裡吃飯呢？這裏有海鮮市場喔～

There’s fresh and processed seafood here. If you want, you can buy it fresh down here and go upstairs to the restaurant area and have it cooked for you. Of course if you would rather not personally give something, that’s still breathing, the death sentence, have the restaurant take care of everything - just go upstairs and order there, or to any of the other restaurants in the area.
這邊有生鮮也有加工過的海產。大家可以在一樓挑想吃的東西，然後請二樓幫忙代工。如果不想要有一種給魚兒們判死刑的感覺的話，就直接上二樓或附近餐廳，讓他們幫你解決。

This is tuna floss with chunks of tuna in it. It’s good for diabetics or for people who don't like sweet foods. No sugar added in here. Mm. I like!
這是鮪魚鬆。對糖尿病患和不喜歡甜食的人來說，應該不錯，沒有加糖。嗯，我喜歡！

Japanese people fresh fish raw. The Chinese like to steam it. Tasty steamed fish have to be really, really fresh.
新鮮的魚，日本人喜歡吃生的。華人喜歡吃蒸的。好吃的蒸魚一定要非常非常新鮮。

Wushi Port is also a big surfing spot. A lot of surfers in northern Taiwan like to come here. In fact, we bumped into one of our coworkers over there. I love it how there’s so much to do around here - there’s the beach, the museum, seafood, hiking, whale watching from Spring to Fall. Everything’s within walking distance, too. You should come!
烏石港也是個衝浪的好地方。很多住北部的衝浪愛好者都喜歡來這裡，我們剛才還碰到同事，也是來衝浪。這裏有好多可以玩的地方，有海灘，博物館，海產，步道，春天到秋天還能商鯨，而且好玩的地方都走路就能到。大家要來喔！

Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記：

We’ve been by Lanyang Museum quite a few times now, and this was the first time we actually got to go inside. It is a wonderful museum! The space is really beautiful (but if you want to enjoy it in peace, go right when they open). I really liked the displays and how they are from floor to ceiling, covering many different levels and aspects of life in Yilan, but they’re really easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking at and if no one is there to tell you the stories. There are audio and guided tours in English and Mandarin, I highly recommend them.
我們曾經經過蘭陽博物館好幾次，這是我們第一次進到裡面去，我覺得這地方好棒喔！我好喜歡它的空間，不過如果想要平靜的欣賞和享受，最好一開館就去。我很喜歡裡面從地板到天花板的展示，描述宜蘭的生活，生態，和文化，不過這些東西沒有人解說，很容易就錯過，所以我建議利用語音導覽，或者報名人員導覽，才會錯過精彩的故事。

The seafood market is kind of fun to walk through. There are two stands that sell fresh seafood, all the other ones sell processed seafood and most allow you to taste before you buy, which is fun and nice. There are several restaurants upstairs that sell and cook fresh seafood, but the one we went to is diagonally across the street from the seafood market building. The name of the place is 章魚哥 Mr Octopus (or brother octopus) and I liked how it seemed cleaner than the restaurants in the market. The food there is quite good!
海鮮市場蠻好玩的，生鮮的有兩攤，其他都是加工食品，大部分都可以讓你試吃再買。樓上有好幾家海鮮餐廳，不過我們拍攝的那家在市場斜對面，叫做章魚哥，菜好吃，感覺也蠻乾淨的。

If the weather’s nice, you can take a walk on the beach. If you’re a surfer, you might really like it there. If you’re here during the right season, you can even go out to Turtle Island or go whale watching. Toucheng is a tiny town, but Wushi Port has a pretty big place in my heart.
天氣好的話可以到海邊走走，你如果會衝浪的話，搞不好會很喜歡。對的季節來，還可以去龜山島，去賞鯨。頭城是個小小的地方，不過我真的蠻喜歡這裏的。

You should come!

เราเกิดมาทำไม
---

คำถาม : เราเกิดมาเพื่ออะไรคะ
...Continue ReadingWhy are we born?
---

Question: what are we born for?

Answer: I think there are as many answers to this big questions as the number of people on earth. or maybe more than the number of people in this world because one person would have changed the answer many times. Me too.

If you ask when I was younger, I would answer one thing. I was younger, I would answer another thing or ask when I was older, I might answer another thing. But I asked. Now, I would like to answer what I could think of now.

The day that I gave you to listen makes me think about "Ashram 4" the process of Hindu life which divided into 4 STEPS:

1) The Virgin (age of education). The meaning of life in this age is to learn through both life experience and knowledge in the classroom to work.

2) Cuddle (Reigns). The meaning of life at this age is to build a place in the world. Answer yourself who I am. What career should I do. Find a partner, have a family, build stability for life and love.

3) yesterday (who sacrificed the house) the meaning of life at this age has changed from " collecting " to " Lalay " when the family starts to be stable, it's time to practice the mind. Learn to be happy from " release " Instead of "hugging"

4) Sanyasi (Doing Dharma). The meaning of life is to do the salvation to the cuddle th of life.

Ashram 4 may look like academic criteria. But if you look carefully, I think the sequence of life is really like that. The change of life needs in life changes according to the body and hormones within us.

In the age of hormones, we are excited about everything. The world looks new. It's nice to pick up. It's nice to own.

When I come to young, it's the age that I want to have. I want to collect things. It's a lot of suffering. Because I want to be very disappointed. I need stability. But I learned that there is nothing stable in this world. I collect things that I want to be satisfied Plus, young hormones in the body that gradually diminimize their heart.

When I have almost everything I ever wanted, I found that I am not happy. So I slowly tell myself that - eh or the answer is not about the outside of the body, but it's about training. So I start traveling inside. The mind seeks answers from training. Heart instead of concubine

...

Therefore, the answer to the question, " why are we born " changes by day, time and circumstances in life. But no matter what age, I think there is one answer that we can always answer every day, age and situation. That is " we were born to love and Being loved "

The meaning of this answer is that we are born to associate with other people in the world. We are born to be part of the world and all things.

We are born to know that something is holding us alive. Trees, butterflies, clouds, distilled into water for us to drink. There is a chef cooking for us. There is a tailor making clothes for us to wear. The reason that raised me, my father drove us to school. There is a teacher to teach me. I have friends waiting for fun. There are people who love to cheer me up. There are many things that hold our lives.

We are born to recognize these connections.

Touch, perceive, indulge, and be part of all things that are assembled as our lives.

Meanwhile, we are also part of things and people. We are children of parents, brother, brother, friends of friends, husband of husband, husband of husband, husband, doctor, doctor, a passenger of motorcycle. The camera of the person who asked us to take a picture. We are the source of the carbon dioxide of trees. The one who affects ice that the north pole white bear is lying around. The one who helps not throw trash into the sea for fish in the sea. No need to eat plastic bags choking. What else. What's more. The world.

We are born to recognize these connections.

Touch, perceive, indulge and be the best part of other things and others.

...

If we speak Buddhist, we are born to break the ego or divided thoughts, " this is me. That's you " or " this is me. That's the world " but we spend life and training the mind to see the fact that the real life is not. " ego " is " sleeping cuddle ta " is invisible, but not emptiness. We are invisible because we are connected to other things. Others live in one flesh.

And that is the one connected love.

In one corner, we are born to give love and in the other end we are born to receive love.

If you feel this "love" no matter what age, we are, we will have a kind heart and feel the kindness that others have for us and see that we are all human beings who suffer, full of love, greedy, angry.

With this cuddle th world, we do not feel alone, lonely, not cut ourselves off from the world and others. We will find a connection and redeem. Ask ourselves how our existence is useful to others and other things.

If you want to find meaning for your own life, a satisfying answer may not be because it's the end. The happiness that we find to fulfill our lives. We will be bored of it one day and find a new answer. Let's come to put in a leaking hole of craving. Lifetime of life

If we only think about ourselves, one day that we have everything but we are not happy, it may reach the point where there is no answer to breathe. But if we have a life that is connected to others, we will always mean something else.

So we exist for others and other things that are connected.

Of course we can't feel this all the time because human nature always twitches us to think about ourselves first. Protect ourselves. Exploit for ourselves. That's normal. I am too.

And that would be the homework of life that nature has given us about 80 years to practice and purify the mind to feel the clean feeling of being part with everything and lay down the heaviness of carrying "ego" And cravings to concubine who we are.

Have you ever stood on the mountain or on the beach quietly and went away? Have you ever looked up at the night sky with stars in the sky?

In a state of silence that we don't want to occupy mountains, sea and stars, there will be one time we disappear. We will be happy.

Because we are giving love and receiving love from all things.Translated
