July 14 (Fire) Liber LXV, Cap. IV, v. 7-8

**7. As the bezoar-stone that is found in the belly of the cow, so is my lover among lovers.
8. O honey boy! Bring me Thy cool limbs hither! Let us sit awhile in the orchard, until the sun go down! Let us feast on the cool grass! Bring wine, ye slaves, that the cheeks of my boy may flush red.

Had a post - it was magically cleansed by the back button
The lover amongst lovers is one and the same in all humanity as the benzoar-stone is in the belly of the cow. (Had to look up benzoar for a quick definition). The manifestation of this in our lives, our perspective of this relationship, and what we find as the fulfillment of this love is unique as each individual is unique. I hesitate to say we must be in "control" of our desires only because it begs the question of who is in "control", however there is an element of sitting in the saddle and directing these forces as the scribe writes about calling over the "slaves" to bring more wine - brings to mind royalty, relaxed authority, and intoxication.
