He came to mind as I stood in the albergue kitchen, filled with doubt and self-pity on a cold, dark, wet morning along the Camino. Having fallen ill due to the close quarters in 40-bed pilgrim dorms, I also had limited foul weather gear, a meager breakfast of hot water, and a black mood as I contemplated my next move.</p><p>Then, a fellow pilgrim walked into the small kitchen wearing a dark tee shirt. In that moment I recalled a favorite quote: “<i>In life, many things will catch your eye, but few will catch your heart; follow those</i>." What caught my heart was the word "<i><strong>ADJUST</strong></i>" in bold white letters on the back of his shirt. This was Steve's way, and it would be mine, too. To hell with fears!
