Dr Laura Colucci-Gray shares a poem inspired by Moray House.
The Grounds of Moray House
Grounds
Grounding
Being grounded
With roots in the grounds
Buried?
Planted!
Stretching out
Straight from the ground
Not suppressed
but kept in reserve,
with the capacity to attend to life
and to wait
A quiet space
Contemplative?
Observant;
Invitational?
Generative
The vision is the dream
Of a place where education is not afraid
To free others
And to free itself.
