在人生旅途中,發現女性主義是一新的起點,給我新的視角來檢視人生與世界,也帶來勇氣和能量。改變自己和世界需要耐心與毅力,但這條道路並不孤單。
回首來時路,女性主義陪伴我走過前途未卜的婦研拓荒期、充滿激情的婦運、森嚴的公職生涯…。雖然渴望擺脫意識型態及組織框架,展開新的旅程,卻也願意時時回到溫馨的起點,一次次再出發,去探尋新的風景和可能。
也願意開放這個起點站,結合創意與資源,讓各色旅程由此開始,奔向美麗新世界。

Building a Library from Scratch
Wheilin Ku
Jacinto,
good
to see "your" beautiful library. It's a good match between you and the library.
Last week we spent three days at the seminary where I have been volunteering
setting up the library. We (the pastor) started from buying the lumber and
making the book cases. Then we took the books out of the boxes and set them up
on the shelves. There are so many books, many donated by people, and we found
one old book published in 1901. It is very overwhelming. I wonder how many
people will spend time reading the books in the library.
So
instead of calling it a "new career?", maybe we should call it an "old pastime",
something many of the new generation may not be able to appreciate.
My "New Career"
Jacinto Ku
This is my "new career". I now volunteer at Leu Gardens. This is a 50-acre garden donated to the city of Orlando in 1961 by Mr. and Mrs. Leu– obviously they were very rich and generous. I work in the library on Saturday from 1-5 pm. Very few people come in to the library. They go straight to the garden. I usually have the whole library (which is about 20' by 25') to myself. I can read their books or bring my own books or iPad.
