甜甜的窩

林後四林平地森林園區
藍天綠地白雲蒼木碧水
結合二峰圳之歷史文化
搭配了大武山自然美景
高台眺望茵湖清澈幽靜
層層疊疊山巒盡收眼底
知性感性裝置藝術亮眼
來此攬勝兼具遊憩消暑
稻草堆戲水道童趣無邊
全家遊來賞景不虛此行

天色微曦即早起

奔往丹林採石去

左岸溪水深又湍

繞回右岸下溪底

多年未來景已異

新建大橋偉又巨

今日特來尋龍紋

卻獲鐵丸心稱奇

鐵丸滄桑古樸具

釘眼滿布圖旖旎

初次獲得龍紋石

雖非精品亦滿意

萬里無雲日當空

汗流浹背滴如雨

難耐高溫撿石短

卻抱美石歸相依

屏東縣童軍會為增進本縣童軍友誼，促進本縣童軍技能，檢驗童軍訓練成效，驗收各級童軍團平日訓練成果，與培養童軍各項技能，應用於各項活動之中；並藉考驗提升童軍知識與技能，提供童軍晉級機會，鼓勵童軍晉級，適時頒授晉級徽章，推行徽章制度，以激發童軍之榮譽心與責任感，進而引導青少年使其成為健全公民，特於103年6月28日假屏東市鶴聲國小舉辦屏東縣103年童軍中級訓練營。本項活動是縣童軍會首次辦理，加以本縣歷次辦理童軍活動，口碑極佳、績效顯著，深獲社會一致好評，此次活動一推出，即受到童軍青少年夥伴的關注與喜愛，報名非常的踴躍，計有屏東女中、東港高中等十數所高、國中與翔鶴社區童軍複式團共一百五十名之各級童軍報名參加。

活動當日(6月28日星期六)風和日麗，一掃往日的梅雨不斷，童軍們一早就載著歡欣鼓舞的心情，溢滿笑顏地抵達鶴聲國小的訓練營地。大家聚集於該校松鶴樓川堂報到完畢，接著編隊，並由林季香、潘冠霖兩位老師帶領大家快樂唱跳，以歡喜雀躍抖擻的精神迎接八點半的開幕式。典禮由縣童軍會理事長李清聖議員主持，首先由童軍會總幹事王文華博士一一介紹貴賓、工作人員給全體童軍認識，接著李理事長致詞說:本縣童軍會在全體童軍義務服務員的大力支持，盡心奉獻，歷年全國的評比本縣成績優異均名列前茅，獲總會長官們一致的讚賞，這都是大家默默無私地奉獻認真努力服務的成果。縣童軍會此次辦理中級童軍訓練營是為青少年開創一個良好學習機會，活動課程非常扎實，可以讓大家學習到許多實用技能，並透過考驗來驗證肯定童軍們的學習成效。李理事長更虔誠祝福大家在訓練活動中，學習更多，獲得更多，並盼在日常活動中落實所學，本著童軍日行一善的精神，盡一己之力，以帶動社會更進步更祥和。提供活動場地的鶴聲國小鍾文郁校長也受邀致詞，溫文儒雅，辦學認真的鍾校長推動童軍教育不遺餘力，表現特優於今年初甫獲總統馬英九先生召見表揚，其致詞時言簡意賅，以地主身分歡迎大家的光臨，童軍活動能在本校舉行，學校倍增光彩，謝謝大家的參與，樂見大家都能努力學習，增進成長，獲得更大的成就；縣府負責童軍教育承辦人暨新任出掌海濱國小校長的趙錫清先生代表縣府也給予大家勉勵，他說:縣府對童軍教育非常關心，也大力推動，感謝童軍所有的義務服務夥伴，協力推動童軍運動的付出，年年締創佳績，此次中級童軍訓練營的舉辦，提供了童軍各項技能的挑戰，期盼大家都能順利地通過考驗晉階晉級，潛能或得更大的發揮。

禮成之後，全體工作人員與參與訓練的童軍在松鶴樓中廊廣場拍下團體照，見證大家為童軍這個大家庭的熱愛與推動童軍運動的努力。接下來是一序列訓練活動開展，首先是分站教學與考驗，活動地點於操場舉行，共分蒙古包搭建、複式帳搭建、炊事帳搭建及營地規劃介紹等四站，活動時間為一小時，讓童軍們實物操作，體驗搭建各式帳篷，也學習到營地規劃的能力，具備野外露營的基本能力。再來10時至11時則實施繩結教學與考驗，提供童軍們牧童結、瓶口結、袋口結、營繩結、繫木結、吊捅等六個生活上非常實用的繩結，學習時大家人手一條童軍繩，在輔導教練細心、耐心、孜孜矻矻的指導下，大家全神貫注，津津有味的學習每一個動作，而小隊夥伴也相互改正錯誤的步驟，每個夥伴很快都能打出了所要求的繩結通過了考驗，小隊們都高興地歡呼，有的童軍還現學現賣，把剛學會的瓶口結打在隨身攜帶的礦泉水瓶上並繫在腰上，真是又帥又酷呢！

上午的最後一堂課則是手工藝~領巾圈的製作，由林季香、陳麗香、杜祈霖、潘立甲帶領大家打出鑽石結，每人一條尼龍細管穿編成一個美觀又實用的領圈，看著自己親手完成閃亮著宛如閃爍鑽石光芒的亮麗領圈，大家把它套上自己的領巾上，童軍們都覺很好玩，也很有成就感。

中午大家在會議廳用便當，並展開童軍聯誼，各校各團童軍相互聊天加深情誼，很快地由陌生到可以天南地北地聊了起來，印證了童軍真是個快樂的大家庭，童軍內大家都是兄弟姐妹，都是一家人，宛如親密的手足一般；義務服務員也不遑多讓，大家把自製的小菜、小零嘴或新鮮水果帶來給大家分享，吃著冰凍的波羅蜜、芒果，透心地無比涼爽，在這大熱天真是最美好的享受，一上午的勞累也因之全都消失無蹤了。

短暫的午間歇息，是提供源源不絕體力，讓大家能走更遠的路。下午的活動於午後一點開始。先由潘冠霖、林季香老師搭檔帶動大家唱跳，振奮精神迎接下午更大的挑戰，首場面對的是救護教學與考驗，每個人要學會止血法及止血帶的用法，並通過三角巾包紮、燙傷、火傷、扭傷、虫蛇咬傷、鼻出血，微物入目及一般創傷等的急救之考驗。童軍們透過分站的演練學習，實際操作體驗，了解了肢體受傷時應如何作有效的止血處理，以免因流血過多，造成休克或更嚴重之死亡，而對三角巾包紮，童軍們在教練的辛勤指導下也都能對大吊腕、頭部、手、膝和腳部的傷口做好包紮，以免受創之傷口免於污染，導致傷口惡化；更能對意外的傷害諸如火傷、燙傷、蟲蛇咬傷...等，做好妥善的急救處理，免致情況惡化，學會了救護技術更可讓頻臨險惡危亡關頭，因處置得宜挽回一線生機，對於救護技能的學習都深覺此項訓練很有價值，都一再演練且欲罷不能，都想著一定要學會，因為不只可以救人也可幫自己呀！

午後的第二次分站教學考驗，則是安排野外露營的一些實用技能教學，有火媒棒製作、架柴生火法及刀斧鋸的使用與保護、現代化爐具的應用。露營野餐是野外生活的樂趣，要如何架柴生火需選定合適的生火地點及備妥燃料，以發火柴、引火柴為初期燃料，而紙片、火種、枯樹枝、小木片、火媒棒都是理想的發火柴、引火柴則如筷子、鉛筆、拇指般大小的乾柴等；而燃燒柴則選擇比引火柴更粗的木頭或柴薪，若能找到相思樹之類的木質堅硬耐燃且熱度高的的庫枯木則是最理想的燃料。生火之前，指導教練教大家削火媒棒，以鋒利的小刀片把筷子削成如聖誕樹般之針葉形叢生的薄片，大家人手一筷，小心翼翼地削出一株小而美美的聖誕樹，削得薄密且長，美麗得讓大家捨不得拿去生火呢，接著野外教練詳細解說並做生火示範，大家也依據要領生起火來，歡呼雀躍之聲此起彼落，快樂成就的氛圍溢滿心頭。野外生活不可或缺的工具則是刀斧鋸，善用他它們可帶給露營夥伴很多利便，在操作時教練特別提示要注意安全，〝水能載舟，亦能覆舟〞若使用不當，不僅減少工具的使用壽命，也易滋生危險。而現代化爐具的介紹，特由慈惠醫專潘立甲教授指導，他說一般爐具無法在2500公尺以上的高山地帶使用，若要在高山使用爐具生火則須使用高壓式爐具，潘教授把操作過程作了詳實說明，並親自操作爐具之組裝及如何點火使用，並特別關注安全使用上的細節，強調不可忽視。接著另一堂分站教學是指北針的應用、手表訂方位、簡易對講機通訊設備使用與雙旗收發旗語介紹，這些平常在學校較少接觸的課程，童軍們都能都津津有味的認真學習，希望學以致用，及預防若身陷困境之中，有了這方面的技能能更易獲得助援，在困境中化險為夷。最後的一個學習與考驗就是工程繩結的介紹與使用~方回結、十字結、剪立結及虎克戰車的製作，這三種繩結是工程架設的基本繩結，使用機率高，露營時製作高架灶、餐桌、營門都可派上用場，大夥們把這三種繩結學會了，各小隊的夥伴一起合作輕而易舉的就把虎克戰車架設起來，小隊同伴輪流坐上戰車被抬起時歡聲雷動，有的小隊更請指導教練及帶隊老師上座抬起，並以熱烈高亢隊呼回饋感謝一天辛苦的陪伴，滿滿的溫馨溫暖洋溢了整個會場。

快樂的時光總是過得飛快，所有活動課程都圓滿完成，閉幕典禮時，縣童軍會總幹事王文華博士致詞說，各位參加活動的童軍夥伴是幸福的一群，自鄭捷事件後，家長都深覺品德教育的重要，而參加童軍活動則是培仁養德最好的捷徑，今天的活動花費少，每人只繳200元，超級便宜，幾乎是免費參加。童軍是最好的品德、群育教育，能參加童軍活動的青少年絕對是未來國家社會的棟樑。此次童軍中級訓練營限於名額，而報名非常踴躍，而致有遺珠之憾，童軍會將持續辦理各項活動，誠盼大家告訴大家，歡迎大家一起來參加。最後由王總幹事頒發中級童軍章，並由筆者頒發參加證書後，活動在驪歌聲中奏下了完美的休止符。

活動之中空檔時，筆者隨機訪問了幾個參加的童軍，就讀屏女的吳念潔說，童軍活動真好，在活動中學到了很多的知識與技能，也在小隊合作體會到團結就是力量，獨力難為時，透過團體合作就能迎刃而解；鶴聲國中的陳瑋捷也說，童軍活動內容豐富，可以學到很多東西，希望這種活動能多舉辦；另鶴聲國中的蔡和家則說，搭帳的時間如能多點時間就更完美，很高興能參加童軍活動，交到新朋友，也學到新東西，希望能有機會多參加這樣的活動，另有恆春吳巧儀及翔鶴多位同學一致表示指導老師教學認真、待人親切、態度和藹可親，筆者為舉辦此活動的總幹事，檢討此次活動順利成功，要感謝幹事部的籌備與所有工作人員犧牲週休假期，全心投入服務，方能獲得參與訓練童軍的認同肯定，也要感謝帶隊老師的鼓勵學生報名和全程的陪伴照顧，也更感謝地主鶴聲國小提供美好場地，有涼爽樹蔭可供室外之活動，又有冷氣舒適的室內講課室，天公作美整日只下了幾滴小雨，且避開了酷熱天氣，無需揮汗如雨的在烈日曝曬下活動，學習更添良好效果，得天時地利人和之助，活動方能圓滿劃下句點，為感激所有的參與，特寫此文以供分享。

   趁著鋒面梅雨北移，南部高屏天氣放晴的機會，一顆心蠢蠢欲動直想衝往高美，等到午後天氣轉陰，也就伴著愛車直奔高美，途經隘寮溪看溪水比往日大很多，女兒從美濃來電說，高美大橋下溪況沒大變化，溪水已退，可以放心過來撿石，車抵莎卡蘭溪，溪水不大，這幾天屏東山上下的雨也不大，遠望大武山白雲朵朵，並非烏雲罩頂，山上不致於會出現豪大雨引發山洪暴漲的可能，也就安心奔往高美石場。

   抵達高美大橋，循著荖濃溪左岸河堤切入砂石車專道，在第一道柵門保全人員已撤走，正感納悶時，車道上更與往日大異其趣，往昔砂石車如萬馬奔騰，轟隆隆聲不絕於耳，如今卻是靜寂無聲看不見任何一輛砂石車出現，原本在下溪前還有一道關口也不見人影，依經驗判斷，溪床定有狀況，當愛車駛進溪床砂石車便道不久，前方便道出現了一個大缺口，不知何時被山洪沖刷路面流失而成斷崖，車輛無法前行，難怪平常川流不息的砂石車都消聲匿蹤了。

   愛車只好停靠路邊，看邊坡下的溪床，水已退了很多，安全上應是無慮，也就著裝下溪，想前幾天有大水沖刷，地貌有所變異，多少應會有一些好石出現，抱著期待的心情一路涉溪而上，撿到不少小鐵丸，紋飾釘眼可觀，有的可放在手掌把玩，有的可做項鍊墜子，半路上也撿到黑膽、石心、圖案石、龍紋青石、花鹿石各一，今天的收穫算是不錯。

   離愛車處已走遠了三百公尺了，時已近四點了，且瓶水只剩五分之一，不得不折返，在回途中發現了一顆大版紋紅龍青石，這顆該有二十公斤以上，而背包已重，若再把這顆扛上肩，那得負荷四五十公斤以上重量，走在不平坦的石堆上，會造成脊椎傷害，所以先背回袋中的石頭回車上再回到遠路把那顆彩色繽紛的紅龍青石背回，為今天的採石劃下滿意的句點。

端午日昨往尋石

高美大橋好景緻

賞心悅目更期待

終得美石心更癡

陽光普照天氣好

溪水濤濤石場繞

自然樂音尋石伴

採得美石樂陶陶

石堆邂逅一沙龜

紋路美妙迷人醉

鐵丸古樸皆殊勝

喜擁美石快樂歸

 總有千百個傷心的理由
讓日子充滿哀怨與傷愁
在千錘百鍊中
接受生命的挑戰
諸多的苦痛悲戚
也只好堅忍去承受
那辛酸的煎熬磨難
又能對誰訴說
又有誰願意傾聽
我內心的聲音
生命裡總是或多或少
藏著難言的痛
想擺脫嗎   想逃離嗎
只因活著還有意義   還有希望
所以就要學會堅強   學會勇敢
去面對生命的任何折磨與凌遲
相信能活著就是美好   就是幸福
沒有愁怨   沒有牽絆
哪會擁有生命的感動
有勇氣   有信心
去接收生命的淬練
方能看到生命開花結果的旖旎
生命即使再苦依然是美麗無比

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

附記:

願我的友人

不管遇到任何的困難遭遇

都要堅強以對

相信您有卓越的毅力

給自己不停的鼓勵

堅持到底

黑暗必將逝去

迎接美麗晨曦

心中期待的未來必定幸福旖旎

欣逢週休(5/17/103)，耳畔又隱約聽到荖濃溪熱盼的呼喚  ，禁不住對溪石的癡迷愛戀，午後又驅車前往。天氣非常的晴朗，豔陽高照，車內標示外頭溫度頗高，紫外線蠻強的，只好等到15:30後才下溪。

熱浪的確教人難於承受，看看地形地勢，往泊車處下游右側300m的邊坡撿石，高度兩三米高的陡峭邊坡，撒落一片陰涼，剛好可以躲過陽光的曝曬，撿起石頭也輕鬆涼快，無須揮汗如雨。
這片邊坡約長200米說長也不長，來回仔細覓撿，花個兩小時應是恰到好處，也就下定決心朝向邊坡走去。這裡的石場許是已有前人來過，有些沒被看上眼的石頭被遺棄擱置在大石頭上，雖然如此，還是本著〝石繫有緣〞 只要緣份夠美石還是會來個不期而遇。
尋尋覓覓的時候，河川局的直升飛機幾度在頭頂上盤旋而過，是來探查盜採砂石與漂流木嗎，我只是個愛石者，所取石頭大不了只是幾顆而已，應是來巡視不肖之砂石業者吧，怕他們逾越申請的界限，亂挖取而破壞大橋橋基的穩固吧？揮手向飛機座上的駕駛致意，也拍下了直升機的美麗身影。
兩個小時的撿石沒有什麼驚喜的斬獲，只是在向西天告別時，回眸一瞥，突然發現眼前不遠處有一顆不小的荖濃溪花鹿，形狀與紋路尚可，也就扛在肩上，心上的快慰有如原住民獵獲了梅花鹿載歌載舞歡喜而歸呢！

    母親節(103/05/11)當日午後抵荖濃溪 ，只見烏雲蔽日，黑壓壓地罩頂而來，心理不禁忖度，將會有一場不小的雨，念頭才起，如豆大的雨就嘩啦的傾盆而下，忙至車裡取了把雨傘遮擋，依經驗法則這〝西北雨〞應不會下得太久才是，雨勢雖猛而急，估計還不致於有山洪暴發的危機，也就氣定神宜地在溪床尋尋覓覓。

    被大雨刷洗過的河床，蒙塵垢面的石頭經過一番沐浴清洗，顯得格外的清新亮麗，對於挑選美麗的石頭可說是利便了不少。

   此次往上游朝高美大橋方向搜尋，因為泊車附近三百公尺內的溪段已覓撿了幾次，想再有尋獲美石的機率可說微乎其微，故得跋涉更遠的路程至人跡少至的溪段，方有較大的機會。

雨後，呈現出一片藍天，天際蔚藍清澄，遠處山頭白雲飄浮，頭頂上卻是烈日當空，赤燄炙人，陽光近乎直射，石縫處的畦畦積水很快就被蒸融了，溪谷一下子變得濕悶難耐，奧熱無比，河床的熱度一下飆高到35度，而這段溪床少了土丘，也無壕溝，少了可避曬遮陽的陰涼處，只好提振起精神在大太陽底下尋石。走到離大橋近兩百米處，這兒堆積的石頭都是大個子的，有幾顆龍紋青石蠻不錯的，只是太大了，每顆少說也有五六十公斤以上，力有未逮，非夢石一人之力可及，只好拍照留念，忍痛放手，而只取了一顆鑲滿白花紋的紅龍石與一顆膚質細緻的龜甲，算是未空手而回。

    準備的兩瓶礦泉水已快用盡，趕快撤退，往回走的途中，偶遇一顆線條奇特，表皮古樸滄桑的鐵丸，有緣的邂逅，給這次辛苦的撿石，劃上了美麗的句點。

驛動的心    何曾平息 

在生命的旅程     不停地奔走尋覓

不管漂泊多少時日    不論行走天涯浪跡

只為探索存在的意義   尋找生命幸福的皈依

雖然命底坎坷   亦也時運不濟

堅持的心志    絕不會更替

身體雖疲憊    心兒能舒愉

只因生命決不放棄    未來依然美麗無比

謝謝樂樂小姐賜詩互勉

想歇的心 不再飄泊
在疲憊的靈魂中 想停下腳步休息
若有緣碰上對的人 何不與他共度餘生
只因前半生孤軍奮鬥 後半生找個幸福港灣
雖然難上加難    但編織美夢期待
甜蜜的相依 有情的互持
生命永如新 恩愛伴一生
只因生命堅毅不氣餒 否極泰來譜永恆之歌

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~※~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

回應樂樂切磋之詩

歇下疲累   冀望休息
不在宦海中浮沉   只盼求心靈靜謐
不願浮萍水漂泊   覓得港灣來駐居
有緣之人難逢遇   機運來時莫輕離
奇幻美夢耀彩霓   幸福人生多旖旎
痛苦的點滴   未來的甜蜜
編織著美麗   期待著緣遇
即使一路坎坷崎嶇   靠著堅毅希望可期

詩文:夢石

早春二月到初夏五月

妳的姿影特別嬌艷

內斂的氣質

清淡芳雅

含蓄的香味

雋永地迷戀我的味蕾

赤紅的初芽

甘美香嫩

就在頂上的枝頭舒展

摘下煎蛋

那份落在舌上的清爽

口齒留香   迴盪不已

妳高挑直立

打著一把優美華麗的傘

庇蔭一家開胃的福氣

如上蒼的疼惜

椿齡   椿壽

青春永伴

在我的身心裡永愛永依
