So love this quotation from the mystic, Howard Thurman...what would your island look like?
“There is in every person an inward sea, and in that sea is an island and on that island there is an altar and standing guard before that altar is the “angel with the flaming sword.” Nothing can get by that angel to be placed upon that altar unless it has the mark of your inner authority. Nothing passes . . . unless it be a part of the ‘fluid area of your consent.’This is your crucial link with the Eternal.”
Howard Thurman, Deep Is the Hunger: Meditations for Apostles of Sensitiveness (New York: Harper, 1951),
