See what I found ...

I was in the lobby of The Perse School in Cambridge and saw this poem. This school has a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence. There are situations where focus on academics alone can sometimes imply a lack of balance. How good it was to see something that clearly focuses on the all-important softer skills of human interaction.

Although the text is particularly applicable to young people, it struck me that, simple as the message is - its relevant to all of us.

See what I found

Some new corners of myself

Hiding away, tucked out of sight,

Untapped, untried, I found them

While reaching out to others.

I wonder how much more of me

There is to discover
