1001 第四天環台心得分享
經過三分之一的路程,265公里大自然的洗禮,今天是環臺的第四天,也是我們在東部的最後一晚。今天的路程雖然沒有昨天來的長,也沒有明天的陡峭,但,卻處處考驗著我們的肌耐力。考驗,並不是來自於路程的艱辛,而是現在的我們正在經歷體力以及肌耐力的撞牆期。
早上離開飯店前,有一群來自霧鹿國小布農族的小勇士,唱著他們的八部合音為我們帶來祝福與鼓勵,謝謝他們的祝福。人與人的關係,是互相交織的,他們在這裏給我們繼續前進的動力,同時康橋也不吝回饋,從今年寒假開始,學校都有志工會去部落為他們服務,教導他們英文。受到他們的激勵後,我們又充滿活力與精神再次啟程!
今天早上我們帶著愉快的心情與疲憊的身軀,從米鄉池上出發,穿梭在花東縱谷間。今天的路程相對的輕鬆許多,沒有第一天九彎十八拐的無止盡上坡,沒有昨天94公里的距離,也沒有明天即將面對的壽卡。
「我們走 一起走 單車環島去郊遊 那是心靈最真的感受 我們走 一起走 到處認識新朋友 你能踩動整個地球」人生中很多地方,很多活動,很多事情,都有我們的身影;有些不一定只出現一次,但每經歷一次,我們都會有不同的感受。
很多時候我們總是在追求自己的名次,也就是所謂的個人英雄;但是這次,並不是這樣,我們拋下以前那些自我意識,一次次的行前訓練,培養出了無比的默契,一聲聲的鼓勵與打氣,都是希望可以和同學們一起完成這12天900公里的路程。
透過每次休息時間隊長們的討論,班上的隊伍不斷的在變化,因為我們要全班一起完成,一起創造我們最後一個菁英課程的回憶,記得八年級走過嘉明湖、九年級泳渡日月潭、走過中橫、去了新馬,我們合作了無數次,一起創造了許多屬於我們的獨特回憶──現在,我們踏著腳踏車,讓足跡遍佈全臺,因為,一起環臺,有你真好。
After finishing a third of our whole journey, which is about 265 kilometers of road, today the path we take is not as hard and steep as the one from the previous day, but we still need to take on a hard challenge due to our replenishing stamina. The hard part of these challenges does not consist of the complexity of the bike paths, instead it is more about facing the limit of our willpower and stamina. Before we left the hotel this morning, a group of elementary students from Wulu came to cheer us on with their angelic voices, singing a pasibutbut, sending us off on our ongoing trip. The true meaning behind people is the mutual recognition between each other that helps them carry on. So, at the same time, Kang Chiao also helps Wulu elementary school in return. From this winter vacation on, our school will have students go to their native village to assist their people, and teach them English. After their marvelous send-off, we are once again filled with energy and enthusiasm that gives us the determination to move on.
"Together we walk, together we walk, cycling around this island, that is the real spirit of a soul, together we walk, so we can make new friends. You can pedal around the whole world." From the activities and events in one's life, we can find traces of oneself. Some traces do not only appear once, but every single time the emotions and feelings are different. During times of training, we abandoned the self-awareness we used to have and even cultivate a secret agreement without conscious. The encouragements are all pointing to the same goal in everyone’s mind-accomplish the 900 kilometers around Taiwan in these 12 days, together.
Through the discussion between leaders during each break time, the pattern of the parade in changing continuously, for the reason of accomplishing the whole trip, creating our last memory of this elite lesson. As I recall, we climbed the JiaMing Lake when we were in eighth grade, we walked across the Central Cross-lsland Highway, swam across the Sun-Moon Lake, and had a trip to Singapore and Malaysia when we were in ninth grade; we have cooperated hundreds times, we have created tons of unique memories of ours. Now, we ride on our bicycles, leave our footprints all over Taiwan, because “cycling around Taiwan together, it is nice that you are here.”
