As a visitor to Sacramento, I’ve met some wonderful folks, but today set out on my own to see a movie all by myself.

I just saw a film that I loved, called The Way. Emilio Estevez directs and acts with his father, Martin Sheen, in a touching film about a physical and spiritual journey. I saw an interview of the two of them that made me want to see this, and it was worth the trip. Loss is inevitable – a natural part of life. Sometimes loss can make room in your heart for new gifts.
