A lyrical bridge between past, present and future

The richest moments in life happen at the frontier where self meets the unpredictable world. Standing at Spain's Finisterre, a young dramatist completes a 500-mile pilgrimage, leaving her boots behind to walk into the unknown. Life’s journey is not about avoiding heartbreak or mastering every outcome, but about embracing vulnerability and letting the road remake us. Meaning emerges when we accept that the future will never follow our plans exactly.
