Living alongside the forest

Growing amongst the trees,
plants, and flowers,
Living alongside a lush forest,
Searching for a cyclical life.

Trees, plants and flowers
are akin to the experiences
and savoir-faire
we develop
over the course of our lives.
They sow the seeds of our future,
helping us to build on our skills and knowledge.

When many trees gather,
they form a lush green forest,
just as experienced and skilled people
come together
to form an active
and stimulating environment.

Our idea of “research” is
sharing how we see life.
We cherish the time and space
we have to think about and practise
the things we have learnt.
