2000 … Diving into Dover

And then loomed the white cliffs of Dover (also in England), which served as the concluding bookend to my aforementioned pilgrimage. Interestingly enough, I was very nearly trapped by the incoming tide while walking along the base of these cliffs, stumbling across a pretty vast boulder field while the rising waves crashed about my feet, and only coming across a concrete stairwell up and away from the ocean just in time …

“If we listened to our intellect, we’d never know love. We’d never have a real friendship … Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.” ~ Ray Bradbury
