To all my students

Be bold like a Tree

that soars towards the Sky

but sinks into mycelial, combative and silent roots;

and let the revolution that happens in the dark depths of the roots accompany the splendour of its canopy.

 

Cherish the versatility of Water,

which can reflect, sparkle, be still, expand, let go,

create new paths;

 

Be the impetuosity and perseverance of a River, which knows no boundaries and which transforms every obstacle into a path;

 

Let yourself be embraced by the mystery of the Forest, which may teach you the magic of the unknown and the invisible fabric that unites everything;

 

Let yourself be dazzled by the Stars and trust in their light.

Don't be afraid of the darkness that surrounds them: that's where they shine.

 

Be nature, because you are nature.
