任何時候，我都會因你所說的話，在意著，乖乖的聽著，
因為你對我說的話，會試著從我的眼中，以我理解的方式來告訴我。
我反常時，鬧情緒不安了，你都會給我答案，無心有心的，
失落時，在我還沒說出口時，你已經陪著，
準備不夠時，你告訴我道理，開啟我嘗試的心。
你回到台灣了，可是不到一年的時間你又會飛出去，
這段時間，我可以陪你的是？
見面時，說起話來，是種迫不急待想說很多的匆促，
哈，下次見面時要放慢點才是，最好是，我也能分擔你的部份。

The gifts of Great Britain
2010的1225，我從郵局收到一箱包裹，抱著它坐著捷運回家，
瞄到上面寫著Bear Toy，就自己開心地在車上笑起來。
這是一面之緣的 Linda 寄給我的，回到家後，拆著每個禮物，
除了生日，再也沒有像這樣一個個拆禮物，很開心，我感受到過聖誕日的氣氛，
以及，很感動 Linda 準備這些東西的心意。

England. The lace cloth is Nottingham lace.
Nottingham, in the middle of England, was famous in 1810 for its machine made lace.
Lace was made and finished there and is still made there today.
Ireland. The bear is made from Irish linen.
Ireland was a great producer of flax which is a short plant with purple flowers.
The stems are spun into a rough, strong thread which is linen, and the seeds are used to make linseed oil.
It is grown in our area of Yorkshire too and it is lovely to see whole fields of purple in the summer.
We stay on holiday sometimes in an old flax mill.
Scotland. The purse is tartan.
Many years ago Scotland was divided into 'clans' or tribes and each one had its own special pattern
of colours, or tartan. The men wore the tartan kilts, which are pleated skirts, to show which clan
they belonged to. They still do today, Last year our friend married a Scotsman and he wore a kilt
for the wedding.
Wales. The necklace is made from slate.
The hills in Wales are formed from slate, which is a type of rock the splits into flat plates,
It is used a lot for roofs on houses and for paths. The necklace is a small piece of slate set in silver and is
engraved with a daffodil. The daffodil is the Welsh flower.
York calendar.
This shows some views of the city where we live.

遇見 Linda 是2008年的事，永遠不會忘記她帶給我溫暖的印象，
看著照片上的她與老田先生的笑容，都可以感染到喜悅，感謝這份禮物裡所包含的點點。
還有，當我又多知道一點外面世界時，另一面，我對自己的土地知道的夠不夠呢？慚
