Thinking from the perspectives of mountains


Just read a book written by woman at my age. To find out a better way to maintain trails in the mountains, she went to Appalachian Mountain and learned to maintain trails with other volunteers. She raised the issue-learning to think from the perspectives of mountains. Yes, mountains are used by numerous creatures. When human beings violently make their ways through mountains, they also turn the home of other animals and plants into hell.


Everyday, I ride on the road through mountains lying in the middle of Miaoli, the land I was born. Bodies of snakes, birds and butterflies can be seen from time to time. They may be natural enemies in the food chain but none of them can fight with human beings, thinking from their own perspectives most of the time.
