The Way: Walking Through the Valley (Psalm 23:1-6)
In The Way, Tom walks the Camino de Santiago carrying his estranged son's ashes. He didn't choose this journey—grief thrust it upon him. But somewhere along the 500 miles, the path becomes more than penance. He finds companions, purpose, even joy. "The Lord is my shepherd... though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." Tom walks through death's shadow literally—carrying death on his back. But he discovers he's not alone. The Camino provides: food, shelter, fellow travelers. The Shepherd provides through the journey itself.
