紮根的未來

抵達 Food that Nourishes Residency 的第一天,我踏入小小的茶室,夥伴們在色彩豐富的泰式地墊上席地而坐。在明亮而幾乎落地的窗前,几上是一鍋帶著些許藥材味卻不失沁甜的滾水。

「那是可可的基底,今天我們將一起創造一鍋屬於我們的可可。」泰裔美籍 Nati 這樣說,他用陶瓷刀悉心地切碎可可磚,眉頭因專注而皺起,卻不忘時而抬頭注視身邊的夥伴。Nati 在數年前回到泰國,在這裡找到自己和根的連結。 他說很神奇,可可來自美洲,但他第一次體驗到可可儀式卻是在泰國...

我們滋養的終將滋養我們

九月的清邁通常是雨季。大雨來時如大壩洩洪,小城可以被淹去一半。今年九月的雨季輕巧優雅,偶有午後雷雨,但未曾使人窒礙難行。

有人說:真好,雨不大;也有人說:真可怕,雨還不大。世界氣候變得極端,人類逐漸失去和天地共感共存的能力,遺憾也悲傷。在失去那些感知自然的能力後,我們獲得了什麼?那些又是值得的嗎?

好友 Dev 在清邁發起了 Food that Nourishes Residency,我們從食物出發,在人和自然關係的裂縫中尋找真相。

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。
