每日完成一項又一項的餵食與清掃工作後，我與爸爸總是全神貫注地走在一片片的夢境上，進行著豬舍工作中最需耐心與精準眼力的耗神工作。溫度不足時，不管健康還是生病，豬隻總是依靠著彼此的體溫而堆疊在一起熟睡著，一堆又一堆如同地毯圖騰般交織而成的魔幻視覺，總是掩蓋掉於那片片花海中，小角落正生病需補救的不完美與難堪。

 

在這一片又一片的動態地毯中，不僅僅紀錄著我一夜又一夜，一遍又一遍尋找與檢查豬隻健康狀態的過程，也紀錄著我每晚找尋下一方向與自省的狀態，也企圖的警誡著自己，勿被外在光環與包裝世界蒙蔽了於世界上更需要關注與關心的事情。

 

Every day when I finish the routine jobs of feeding and cleaning, my dad and I will walk through the floating dream one by one, without distraction. It is the work which requires the greatest patience as well as the greatest eyesight. While the temperatures are low, pigs – the sick ones and the healthy ones – will stay close to each other as they are deeply asleep. For m, it is the most magical scene, visually speaking –just like the carpet patterns interlacing with each other. It sometimes even comforts me about the worries that some ill pigs are deserted at the corner, waiting for anyone's intensive care.

 

Therefore, walking through these moving carpets becomes my diary to record my night-by-night routine to check the health condition of the pigs. It also records my self-reflection and my future direction. I keep telling myself that I should not let the superficiality of the outer world to replace those which really deserve my care and concentration.
