談戰爭與革命
在清邁來回三年，從 2024 下半年開始參與緬甸工作，從來沒有真的公開分享過工作內容。去年年底上了厭世姬和邊角料一起主持的 Podcast《人間動物園》，第一次在相對公開的平台分享自己在泰緬邊境的工作。兒童庇護所相關的工作我多多少少分享過幾次，但這是我第一次談緬甸，心情是緊張的。這幾個月來，和備戰相關的討論在台灣持續發酵，在各種討論中，我觀察到了許多和緬甸相似的境況。雖然我從事戰事工作時間也不長，但希望能透過自己的一點經驗，和大家一起從不同角度切入，討論不同的可能性。

一體至衡
今天是我 31 歲生日。
身邊的朋友大部分都告訴我，30 歲之後人生才真正開始，因為我們慢慢找到了自己，多了些韌性和成熟。而這也的確是我的感受，30 歲的這一整年，是我真正開始完全成為自己的一年。生活美妙地平衡，每天、每時、每刻都過的奇幻美好。當然人生還是有很多挫折和令人難以下嚥的篇章，有時候心也會痛得無法呼吸，但一切都只是偶然和必然交織的結果，我脆弱但誠實地接受他們，也讓那些境遇慢慢成為自己的一部分。

移動
今年持續不斷地移動，城市間、國家間、思想間，遊走在邊界與邊界的縫隙。我最喜歡 達利 (Salvador Dalí) 的一幅畫叫做 Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening，畫中呈現的是夢醒的那一刻。據說我們睡覺時概念會分散出現，形成很多各自獨立的小夢。但在醒來的那個瞬間，這些小夢會集結成一場大夢，我們所能記得的，變成了一場完整的虛幻體驗。

根
這三年大多在海外奔走，非常少時間待在台灣，有時候心裡默默地會有些罪惡感，感覺自己沒有在為自己的土地努力。這樣的出走，加深了我對「根性」的認識，也更體認了《道德經》裡的「重為輕根，靜為躁君。是以聖人終日行不離輜重。」
而究竟「根」是什麼？「根」是植物的基底，提供並儲存生長的養分；「根」向下生長，緊緊的抓住土壤，讓植栽遇風雨也不飄搖；「根」是起點也是終點，養分從根來，落葉也歸根。2025 年也許是「根」的一年，好好的整理自己，把自己和土地的連結再梳理得更清楚。

海豚回來了
1/
一個月前和一群朋友一起到泰國的一個私人小島上，我們包下了整個島，算是在一年忙碌之後的小假期。這是一個很特別的小島，島上面一天只有五個小時會提供網路，一天還會有五小時斷電，讓我們只能和山與海一起，沒有其他的選擇。
第一天到島上時，我自己走到了其中一片無人的海灘上。海灘上的沙子白的刺眼，有時候還可以看得到孔雀的腳印。（對，這是一個充滿孔雀和超大蜥蜴的海島。）我在海灘上走著走著，隨著孔雀的步伐，決定在海岸邊的某個角落停下來。我似乎也沒有想坐下，就想站著，讓海水沖沖我的腳趾...
