10) If you were marooned on a desert island, which historical figure would you like to spend your time with and why.
I think practically speaking I should choose someone who’s known for their great escapes but I’m going to choose Rumi. Rumi is a poet and an Islamic scholar. I’d like to learn from him. I think he’d find beauty and mystic in wherever we are.
