The autumn floods had come. Thousands of wild torrents poured furiously into the Yellow River. It surged and flooded its banks until, looking across, you could not tell an ox from a horse on the other side.

What is there Beyond Knowing?
What is there beyond knowing that keeps calling to me? I can't turn in any direcion but it's there.
