Our Boat

Image
Sassine El Nabbout Photography It was not that difficult to choose… it is the one that pleased our eyes… The river was calm… the winds were soft and somewhat cold… but who cares… we were together… We looked at the boat bottom… there were water… A feeling of trouble filled us… we checked the other boats… "they are all the same"… You said: do you know how to swim? I said: yes… and you? You said: if you know, I have nothing to fear… You were the first to enter… moments of disequilibrium… I hold you and the boat with all my power… When it was my turn… I thought I can do it alone, but it was worse… when it calms again, a smile was drawn on my face… your hands was holding me and the boat… We were hiking… your eyes were mine… Go to the right… go to left… turn around… watch out… I remember every word… every smile… The orchestra of birds was around us… I never heard them singing that much… They said that this day will be a bad one… but it was the best day… Sailing to where we don’t k...

A Small Gesture

Image
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.” “They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" T...

"When you're down to nothing, God is up to something"

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?" The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair ?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it mi...

If The Autumn Leaves Talk

The time is moving on, and we are not seeing the sun anymore… Even if she appears… as soon as we look at her, she hides herself behind a cloud… Days are becoming lazy… We feel that there are no more things to do… Ah! It is really cold… Look at humans and animals… everyone below is collecting… working hard… Winter is knocking on the door… Do you think that we can continue working?! Without rays?! We think that our factories will be closed for a while… We have to free the way… the incoming leaves are younger… What to do until we leave… Why are you looking red?! Why are you looking yellow?! I told you… I’m closing my factories… Oh my God! I’m afraid from death! Don’t be afraid… it will be so smooth… Why we live in a temporary fashion? Why we can’t stay forever? Don’t be afraid! Even if we die, we will be the power of the next generations… Our good ingredients will resuscitate again… while our unusable body will stay in the soil… Why is it like that? They said: everything is made for the g...

Two Wolves

Image
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." Cherokee Wisdom
