The Andrew Norton Scholarship
For Innovative and Creative Young Leaders
Ask me, one day in the available light, "What lies ahead" We'll go for a walk. We'll follow the ridge line track - there and back. We'll drink with our eyes. We'll speak with our hearts. We'll delight in the clouds. Ask me, one day in the available light, "What lies ahead?" And I'll ask you, "What lies within?" - Poem by Andrew Norton
