Celebration Earth: Making The Jump From A Culture Of War To A Culture Of Peace

qrebecca Chen

10/21 qrebecca will start walking ~~徒步環島前奏曲

Recently I always consider about the environment protect issue, and I take some actions in my life and my community. I spread the environment protect issue to my community and children, and I change my life style.

I admit that I was a lazy woman before, because I did not like walking, even short distance I still took my motorcycle. Until I awaked that I was one of the killer of EP, I changed my life style. I reduce to eat meat, I did not take plastic, and resources recycle using …. One of my big changing is for walking everyday. My walking is not only for health but also for reduce air pollution.

I believe, if everybody like to walk, then Co2 will be reduce, the air will be better , and the Land Mother will be health and happy.

Walking is a good action for everybody and earth. Walking makes human health and keeps good air. When I walk, while I can thinking, and keep my heart in peace. Even though walk for a long time makes my foot pain, but it just short time. If I keep walking everyday, it will be better.

Since I started walking until now, it just for 8 months, it was short time. Therefore I will keep walking. And I plan walking round Taiwan, and even walk round the earth. I will walk stage by stage, until someday that God call me return to my sweet home where is in heaven. I believe God be with me, and be with each walker who loves the earth.

The first stage walking I will start from Kaohsiung to Tainan on 10/21. Think good thing, and take good action, just do it, I believe that the world will be better and better.



這一年來,我不斷思考有關環境保護的問題,也努力叫自己採取實際的環保行動,所以除了在教會或在學校晨光時間鼓勵環保生活外,自己在生活上也養成了垃圾分類、不拿塑膠袋、隨手關燈、週一不吃肉、平時少吃肉…等環保行動,所有行動中,我生活上最大的改變是養成了徒步的習慣。

以前我是懶得走路的人,如果走路到目的地會超過五分鐘,我一定放棄走路改騎機車。自從意識到二氧化碳造成環境的污染,而我竟是環境殺手的一員時,我決定非不得已,絕不騎機車,只要時間許可,盡量採取徒步方式,遠距離則搭乘大眾運輸工具,藉此減少排碳量。

我的徒步生活雖然不長,只有七八個月之久,但經過持續的徒步練習,我已經養成徒步的好習慣,任何地方,只要徒步可以到達,又沒有時間壓力的情況下,我會盡量採取徒步的方式前往目的地。

徒步可以說是人類移動的最原始方式,它能健身又不會對大地造成任何污染。但要一個很久沒有徒步習慣的人,突然採取徒步方式,也會遇到許多障礙,畢竟徒步的移動速度緩慢,此外,未經常徒步的人,突然要他徒步走兩三公里,他可能會雙腳鐵腿、腳底起泡。

不過這些障礙還是可以克服的,只要轉換心態,想想,移動快速並不保證能得到一路平安與身心快樂。現代人的生活其實已經快速到顯得慌亂了,所以人們應該回復到寧靜祥和的生活步調。徒步的移動速度雖然緩慢,但在緩慢的徒步移動中,人的心思意念會沉澱下來,心境也跟著穩定沉著。而且在緩慢的移動中,人們會有更多的機會與大自然或與他人會遇,無形中,天空也顯得更為寬廣了。至於鐵腿或腳底起泡,那只是長久疏於徒步,以致肉體上一下子無法適應而已,只要繼續保持徒步生活的話,這些症狀自然會消失。

徒步運動除了能幫助身心健康以外,也可以減碳救地球。基於徒步的種種好處,所以我決定徒步環島,但我有工作在身,基於工作責任,所以無法一氣連續走完,我只能採取階段性的方式前進,也就是說從出發點開始,一個階段接著一個階段地走,這樣來回的階段銜接,可能會耗費我更多的時間、精力與交通開銷,我的家人和朋友認為這有點困難,但是事在人為,要等人人認同,萬事俱足才能採取行動的話,那麼我可能永遠前進不得,因此決定的事,就要計劃並行動。為了完成徒步環島的目標,所以這一個月每天我保持一個半小時以上的徒步練習。

本來我的徒步環島計劃預定11/4~11/6才要出發,但因為11/5臨時有任務,所以我將提前於10/21~10/23出發。去年我已經完成過兩次鐵路環島,今年將是我的徒步環島首步曲,首步曲將從高雄出發,往台南前進。此後若沒什麼意外或重要事情耽擱的話,每個月預定走兩個階段,希望一年內我的徒步環島進行曲能夠畫上完美的句點。

不可預知的未來在前方向我招手,倚靠上帝的大能大力,祂必引我前行,縱然要面對種種艱難,只要相信主與我同在,那裡就會是天堂。若你我在旅途上幸運相遇,願我們能為彼此祝福,若我們因為守護大地而汗流浹背,相信大地之母會揚起微風喜樂的對著我們微笑。

你不一定要跟我徒步環島,但你可以試著短程徒步,讓我們多多徒步,並以任何自己可以做得到的行動一起努力救地球!!!



10/18採購了幾件輕便的排汗衫,整裝待發….10/21首步曲我將戴著27forever送我的防UV黑色帽,並穿著韓國三一教會送我的運動鞋開始往北前進。
