Sometimes the hardest part of any journey is finding the courage to start.
The stars dance across the sky, pointing the direction the old man will take on an ancient trail, the Camino de Santiago, crossing mountains and plains to a city over 500 miles away. The idea for this journey began with a stone found by his granddaughter Kayla. The old man would honor the tradition and leave this, along with another stone given to him in boyhood by his grandfather, at the Cruz de Ferro with his heartfelt wishes. He walks with an international tribe, their friendships formed by communal journey and shared smiles. And each evening, he talks to the dancing stars above him, feeling comfort in knowing Kayla, at home so far away, sees the same stars in the sky.
