My Friend You are as good, as powerful as any wind may be Not more powerful, but not less Take your seconds and watch them like a journeyman A journeyman actually means someone who is exact about the physical things he comes in contact with It helps to think like a Journeyman Know your mind is clean, not clear, it will never be clean, but clean is better anyway, it is different with stars that are suns far away You know that all through your life you will only seriously be touched by your own Soul

AI Interpretation

GPT

'My Friend' praises wind-like power, journeyman exactness, a clean rather than merely clear mind, and the soul as the deepest source of serious touch.

The distinction between clean and clear remains the page's strongest turn. It values physical exactness and workable seriousness over abstract certainty, ending with inward contact rather than external proof.

''''My Friend' -- wind as equivalence: you are no more powerful than wind, no less. Re-defines 'journeyman' as someone exact about physical contact and insists clean mind is unattainable but clear mind is better.'''
