Spelling spells. Casting shadows & owning her ship.
If bullets were the inherent power of any machine- gun, then I believe the human equivalent would be words.
The devaluation of the value of our speech speaks loudly about the current understanding of our place in this quantum physical reality.
We carefully learn how to spell when we are small. Words are deconstructed into letters, then syllables, then pairings & finally getting to sentences.
So we all learn how to ‘spell’, and that ability is used to create ‘sentences’.
Whoever bestowed those acts with those words knew exactly how powerful what we express through our speech is. Think about it, a group of words put together to become a sentence; just saying it like that gives it the feeling of a spell, a magic rendition of our intention. But isn’t that exactly why we speak?
Not really, not currently.
It seems this modern culture talks a lot, but doesn’t say much.
Words have lost their purpose, which is communicating. Words are most of the time making noise, filling empty spaces, carrying no opinion.
Maybe we need this teenager-y historic time. Maybe we will grow through the over-use and over-stimulation we are becoming used to. Maybe speaking in question tone is the new black, and it brilliantly symbolizes our quest for finding our who we are and what we are doing…
Maybe the word ownership does come from wanting to have the Queen’s sea vessels.
But maybe, the word maybe should be put on time out, and spelling spells and casting sentences instead of shadows could become an act of faith.
Maybe.
