　　我想我是一個認真的人，有時候到了嚴肅的地步。還記得剛入小學的第一課就是ㄅㄆㄇㄈ，老師說下週要考，可是一週過去了，我還沒全學會，急得不得了，回家就發燒了，媽媽還得幫我惡補。下星期老師竟然完全忘了考試這回事！而我至今餘悸猶存。
　　最近一位好友退休，她在嚴肅這件事上比我更勝一籌，在我們為她舉行的餐會中一絲不苟地討論未來生活的意義，我勸她不必急，不妨先混一混。李豐（寫《我賺了四十年》的那位台大醫師）在電話上聽了我的轉述，大笑道：「你混得怎樣？」我說：「不錯啊！」她卻不以為然：「我聽妳聲音就知道妳還是那樣，說話太快了！」幾十年來她一直勸我慢下來。慢才能品味生活，才能靜攬人生，才能修鍊身心。
　　不僅需要調整步調，我也想改變自己的寫作風格，輕鬆一點，閒適一點，更多一點生活，多一點感覺。渴望有自己的部落格，不被字數、時尚、市場、刊物風格、主編好惡綁住。大部分是為自己寫吧，也為了分享，至於未來，就交給上天了。 email: yenlinku@mail2000.com.tw

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.
