Simple men

Jesus favoured simple men because simplicity looks straight at you. There’s not a lot of unlearning to be done. A baker seeking an apprentice said, “Give me a kid who doesn’t know anything.”

Vocational drift

I didn’t know what I was supposed to do until I was 45. As it turned out, I had to do some other things first. Now I see I was never not doing what I was supposed to do.

Fully divested

We enter the sanctuary of truth through the vestibule of not knowing.

Edifice complex

Most men fear not knowing. To settle themselves, they develop beliefs. When these are codified, churches erupt. The builders install gargoyles in the upper reaches to remind themselves of why they built them. (If there were no God, would men build churches anyway?)

Seduced

The mass of men focus on what they know. A small but growing number have been seduced by what they don’t know. You are among the few.
