On the Way Home > Bonds Gallery

I'm next to a stream with very bright water.
The water is slightly cold.
The stream is lined with large pebbles.
To the left is a patch of grass.
Sheep and cows are grazing here.
I walk across the stream.

As I step into a puddle,
a dog barks.
I lift my foot to examine it.
Thankfully, the dog is fine.

There seem to be about 10-20 sheep and cows.
They're small.

I think it's time to go home.

Ah, this is the Southern Hemisphere.
An image of Earth comes to mind.

It's a grassland near the poles of the Southern Hemisphere. There are also some mountains.
That's why the pebbles are large and the stream seems cold.
There's a glacier further up, bringing cold water.
The pastureland is very wide, with grass growing waist-high.

I remember setting up signposts on the way back.

I only set up one. I remember setting it up exactly where it needed to be.
Thank goodness.
I was a little unsure about how to get home,
but then I remembered I'd set up the right signpost.

I lead the animals back up to the house.
I push through the waist-high grass.
The animals follow closely behind.

My house is visible on a slightly higher hill in the distance.
We're getting close.

As we approach the house, a song automatically starts playing.
It's a song that touched me. A heartwarming song.
My wife follows behind.
Now we've arrived home with the animals.
