“Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.” – Immanuel Kant I am feeling the need for some more organization. Today, that is all. With love, Israel. xo

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times
“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Steven Kloves This quote was actually said by Albus Dumbledore in this scene, but the quote goes to the screenwriter of all seven Harry Potter films, Steven Kloves. Fair play, I guess. (Hah. See what I did […]
Wherever you go, there you are
“Wherever you go, there you are.” No attribution to this quote today, as it (according to google) was originally created by about 8,321 different people. It was sent to me by a reader, who reached out yesterday with an amazing email. I felt I had to share the quote with you straight away. It’s an interesting […]
Meditate
“Meditate.” I’ve written about meditation before, here, here and here. What’s interesting about meditation, is that I know the value it can bring, yet I struggle to make it a regular part of my daily routine – like yoga, actually. While on holiday in Cairns (Far North Queensland in Australia, near the Great Barrier Reef), Bel and […]
We have to be greater than what we suffer
“We have to be greater than what we suffer.” – Gwen Stacy This quote is taken from the speech given by Spiderman’s girlfriend in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It is a cracking film, but it has left me utterly hollow after the death of Gwen Stacy in the last act. (No spoiler alert, cos it’s […]
You’re only given one little spark of madness
“You’re only given one little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” – Robin Williams You could be forgiven for thinking I’d lost a bit of my spark over the past few days. I’ve had a very difficult time putting IQs together in and around what has been a hectic family holiday. To me, holidays […]
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet
“I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” – William Butler Yeats I discovered the collected poems of Yeats on my Kindle last night. I love Yeats. Look him up. Today’s quote comes from this poem. I love holidays. With love, Israel. xo
Look up
“Look up.” I walked to post a letter this afternoon. … The golden afternoon light wrapped itself tightly around the treetops, an absent lover making up for lost time. Tickled by the sweet breath of the West, the trees swayed in delight. A crescendo of white noise from nearby traffic masked the creaking and moaning […]
Between two worlds life hovers like a star
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.” – Lord Byron A bit of poetry for your day, complemented beautifully by this shot of sunrise at Crescent Head. What does this quote say to you? With love, Israel. xo
Life loves you
“Life loves you.” It’s true. Really. It’s worth reminding yourself though, especially when you’re feeling a bit garbage. Bel and I have a daily affirmation (among others): “Life loves us, and provides for us well.” It really is a beautiful statement, and reminds us to be present to the abundance we enjoy every single day.
