Dr Laura Colucci-Gray: The Grounds of Moray House

Dr Laura Colucci-Gray shares a poem inspired by Moray House.


The Grounds of Moray House

GroundsStudents looking at artwork.

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 spaceClay sculpture

Contemplative?

Observant;

Invitational?

Generative

The vision is the dream

Of a place where education is not afraid

To free others

And to free itself.
