We're On Our Way Home



If you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again.
We'll sail on the sun,
We'll ride on the rain,
And talk to the trees,
And worship the wind.

"Ne Me Quitte Pas" (1959) by Jacques Brel

Everyone on St John has a story . The islands history and culture is passed on in stories. Every day I was given the gift of a story of my own to tell. I hope you had as much fun hearing them as I did living them.
