"The Way Home," by Peter Ralston.
Let's hope we find it in the coming months.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Peter is a friend, but for those of you who have asked, he does sell his photos. His gallery is at https://www.ralstongallery.com/
Thanks, Heather.....I’m really pleased that you like this one. It’s made from an island I love, looking west over several other islands on which I have spent meaningful time over the years. I once had an extraordinary experience in the middle ground waters. In the background are the hills just behind us where we live in our little coastal village. From where I stood to make this on that evening, I felt blessed to be on the island with people I love, even as that ever so familiar mountain profile spoke of home. I’ve run my boat through here many, many times and it always has that dual effect on me....a foot in both worlds, if you will. It’s doing it now....
A modern choral classic: "The Road Home" by Stephen Paulus (1949-2014)

--------------------------------------------
Tell me where is the road I can call my own,
That I left, that I lost, so long ago.
All these years I have wondered, oh when will I know,
There's a way, there's a road that will lead me home.
After wind, After rain, when the dark is done,
As I wake from a dream, in the gold of day,
Through the air there's a calling from far away,
There's a voice I can hear that will lead me home.
Rise up, follow me, come away is the call
With (the) love in your heart as the only song
There is no such beauty as where you belong
Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.
