Everyone has the answers. Everyone knows everything. Henri Nouwen observed that in a world of specialization in which the few know so much about so little, humanity will no longer seek the voice of the metaphysical. While getting a haircut long ago, I decided to boldly go where no man has gone before and asked my barber Bruce a question not pertaining to the weather. ”So after all these years of talking to people in this chair, what’s the greatest change you see in people?” Snip, snip. “I would say that people have lost their sense of wonder.” Snip, snip, snip. Silence. ”So, Bruce, I heard there’s a 50% chance that it’s going to rain tomorrow.”
