"An individual is an isolated island, and also a mighty army." In the end, what one seeks is not an external coordinate, but how to become the sovereign over the legions within one's own island. It is to confront, to embrace, and to become that unique, whole, and powerful "one person". The vastest journey is each step taken into one's own depths. The self is both the battlefield to be conquered and the one, eternal ally. One must ultimately command this inner army in solitude, and within the prolonged silence, learn to hear the tides of the heart.
