I was reading Road To Daybreak and Nouwen made reference to a sculpture, "Christus auf Palmesel", and goes on to describe it. How I wish I could see that sculpture he describes, I thought. Then in struck me, I could, and without having to go to Germany. I simply typed the title into Google Image Search, and instantly before me I saw the sculpture Nouwen referred to.

It struck me then the awesome power of this medium. The web gives us power - instant access to the shared knowledge of humanity.
