The internet is like a celestial messenger. Through the internet, we send thoughts and intentions to an incorporeal realm; at times our wishes are granted and physical change manifests in the world around us.
We pray, & Hermes hears, & Zeus grants us aid.
We pay, & a cascade of warehouse employees & delivery workers are given new instruction, & a package arrives.
