Words are not for the divine; they are for us.
We need words to relay ideas,
But things and ideas exist whether or not described or labeled.
Mere words don't influence the natural laws;
We fool ourselves as we influence ourselves and others.
Spells cast or supplications prayed:
It is not the power of the words alone manifested.
So much emphasis is placed on the formulae of what we say to influence forces greater ourselves;
Does God not know intention? Does nature even take notice?
