"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."  -  Martin Luther King Jr.

The passage quoted in the picture captions is from The Edges of the Civilized World  by Alison Hawthorne Deming (Picador, 1998); run your cursor over the pictures to read it. The photographs were taken on the south Devon coast.
