村上春樹
許多人終其一生追求永恆與幸福,等待著遇見百分百的男孩(女孩),但在等待著的同時,她(他)也許就已經從你(妳)身邊溜走了,而你(妳),還在等待。
從前從前,有一個地方,有一位少年和少女。少年十八歲,少女十六歲。少年並不怎麼英俊,少女也不怎麼漂亮。是任何地方都有的孤獨而平凡的少年和少女。不過他們都堅決地相信,在這世界上的某個地方,一定有一位100%跟自己相配的少女和少年。

察覺自己的偏執
有一對恩愛夫妻,在結婚多年以後,還是離婚了。辦離婚手續時,兩個人都很難過,連他們自己都想不通:明明兩個人感情很好,怎麼可能走到這一步呢?原來這位太太弱不禁風,大熱天裡也受不了一點點風;不能吹冷氣、不能吹電扇,連窗戶都不能開;偏偏這位先生最怕熱,沒有冷氣睡不著。所以,這對雖然恩愛,卻無法相處的夫妻最後只好分道提鑣。這是人生的悲劇,不過,這也是人生的常態。
佛陀在楞嚴會上對大眾說法時,曾經舉起自己的手來問阿難說:「阿難!你看我的手是正的還是倒的?」阿難自恃多聞,被佛陀連番訓斥幾次之後,再也不敢逞強,只得含糊應答說:「世間一般人都認為手指向下就是倒;我也不知道究竟如何為正?如何為倒?」佛陀就說了:「手臂就是手臂,那有一定的正或倒?只是世間的人一定要執著上豎為正,下垂為倒,這是執迷不悟的看法。」

陽光下的陰影
文◎釋心廣
我第一眼看到阿亮的時候,就被他的眼神震攝住了。以一個國二的孩子來說,這是一張太疏離又太冷漠的臉,帶著深深的渴望和傷感,就好像那些被丟棄及虐待的孩子。我看了看好心帶他來的人,低頭問了他一句:
『你要不要留在這邊跟師父一起住?』
冷漠又疏離的臉起了變化,他點點頭,眼神充滿感激。事後,他跟別人說,他這輩子最感動的時刻,就是我問他那句話的剎那!原本了無生氣的生命,因為這句話而改觀,他在心裡大叫:『我得救了!』

The Roman Way 條條大路通羅馬 (2005-03-31)
Once a city-state, Rome grew to become the political and cultural center of the Mediterranean. The empire stretched as far as Britain to the West and Mesopotamia to the East. Romans considered themselves to be the direct descendants of the mythical people of Troy, believing they had inherited the favor of the gods. Through its many glorious military conquests and achievements, the Roman world has left a rich legacy for modern scholars. What has been learned has given us a glimpse into a time in which man reached a height of civilization that had never been seen before. During the early years of Roman history, 750-510 B.C., Rome was ruled by successive kings. Rome evolved quickly, and by the end of the fifth century B.C., the last king was expelled and a republican government was established. During this era, Rome succeeded in conquering all of Italy and by the first century B.C., was the lasting power in the Mediterranean. |

台灣苔蘚分布密度種類多樣性 世界第一
農委會特有生物中心最近完成全台苔蘚植物資源調查,發現台灣苔蘚多達1500種,分布密度和種類多樣性幾乎是全球之冠,其中更有20%是稀有種苔蘚,連全球最大的美國密蘇里植物園都專程來台採集標本帶回園內展示。
特生中心指出,生態旅遊在台灣日益風行,但多數人在野外賞花賞鳥賞樹,卻鮮少注意腳下的苔蘚;其實苔蘚是地球最早的陸生植物,最能在惡劣環境生存,可以涵養水源,對生態系有重要貢獻,一座森林中的苔蘚覆蓋面積更和樹木不相上下。
特生中心植物組94年起展開苔蘚調查,採集3000多種苔蘚標本,整理後發現台灣的苔蘚種類多達1500種,與一向以苔蘚聞名國際保育界的日本不相上下;但更難得的是,台灣有300種苔蘚是國際植物學界判定的稀有種,150種是台灣特有種。而且台灣的面積僅日本的四分之一,證實台灣的苔蘚多樣性和密度,在全球數一數二。
特生中心研究員楊嘉棟說,例如在全球各地非常罕見的浮蘚,國外幾乎都只能在溫室裡刻意栽植,南投埔里的茭白筍田中卻出現野生浮蘚。原來是因種植茭白筍特有的濕田,引來水鳥踩踏,無意間透過鳥爪夾帶極細微的浮蘚孢子,順利傳播生長。
另一種更珍貴的高木苔也出現在海拔3000多公尺的玉山北峰。楊嘉棟說,高木苔在地球歷史有數千萬年,有「活化石」之稱,全球僅零星分布。
