Using words to describe magic is like using a screwdriver to cut roast beef

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.

Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power.

I don't know what the magic words are. They wanted to come and talk about it, but I don't have any expectations. I'm interested to hear what they have to say, as is Billy. If nothing else, it'll be an information-gathering process, hopefully.
