Crossing the Pacific by feeling the stones Crossing the Pacific by feeling the stones

The Chinese have a saying that arose from the Long March – crossing the river by feeling the stones. In a situation of grave uncertainty (how deep is the water?) you can only cross the river by slowly taking one step at a time, making sure that the next stone is firm enough before you advance. If you are wrong, you change course and feel for the another stone.
