Anne’s Journey

Where my heart will take me

Years ago, Anne had commissioned Bowling Green artist Terry Caturano to produce a calligraphy for the poem “High Flight” as a gift for Mike.

Mike later asked Terry to create a similar work for Anne based on the song “Where My Heart Will Take Me”, also known as “Faith of the Heart”, by Diane Warren.

The song was used as the theme song sung by Russell Watson on the early 2000’s TV show “Enterprise”.

During Anne’s struggle with cancer, the song spoke to her….

“it’s been a long road…my time is finally near….nothing will hold me down…I have faith of the heart’…I’ve got strength of the soul….no one’s gonna bend or break me…cuz I’ve got faith of the heart‘.

Terry used the song and added the beautiful road and horizon in this piece.
