'Find Yourself a Friend': find yourself a friend who is willing to tolerate you with patience / put to the test the essence of the best incense by putting it in fire / drink a cup of poison if handed to you by a friend when filled with love and grace / step into the fire like the chosen prophet the secret love will change hot flames to a garden covered with blossoms / roses and hyacinths and willow spinning and throwing you a true friend can hold you like God and his universe
