The Easiest Thing of All

The Easiest Thing of All

By Nabih Saliba

It’s easy to remember the first time I laid eyes on you

Every day, your beauty still takes my breath away

It’s easy to admire what you’re capable of

Every day, you demonstrate your capacity for greatness

It’s easy to be jealous of the time that isn’t mine

Every day, I see the care you invest in others

It’s easy to be proud of you

Every day, you push a little further into the unknown

It’s easy to think of you

Every day, you occupy my thoughts, dreams and desires

It’s easy to wait for you

Every day, I look forward to discovering new things with you

It’s easy to imagine the rest of my life with you

Every day, you remind me of what a joy living can be

It’s easy for me to thank you

Every day, you brighten my life

In every moment I remember you

In every moment I admire you

In every moment I feel jealous

In every moment I think of you

In every moment I wait for you

In every moment I imagine with you

In every thing I thank you for

The easiest thing of all

Is to love you.

A Little About A Lot

A Little About A Lot by Nabih Saliba
To know a lot about a little Or a little about a lot Is a thing we should consider But in practice often not
Know a lot about a little And it’s one thing that you’ve got But your view might be quite narrow Like a cage for every thought
Fill your head with many subjects Then an expert you are not As your knowledge can be shallow When a little about a lot
Should you aim to be an expert? Try to master just one thing? Then you’d have yourself a focused Special kind of offering.
Do you wish to only sample? Try to gather wide but thin? Then when details are required You’ll just offer up a grin.
Maybe what one should consider Isn’t what they know or not But what they know together With the friends that they have got
For together we are smarter Sharing fact and view and thought On a lot about a little Or a little about a lot

Shrink-wrapped opinions

Every once in a while, as I stand in some supermarket checkout line, I’ll glance at the tabloids: The National Enquirer, The Weekly World News or The Star. Often, I’m satisfied to just laugh at the paper right there in the stand. Sometimes, the headlines catch my curiosity enough that I’ll actually purchase the rag and take it home for a few laughs. While there may be some that consider these papers to be the only true news, most (myself included) think of them as comic distractions. Every week it’s some new sensational headline about Elvis, aliens, governments, Nostradamus, the end of the world and Jesus. Sometimes, the headline manages to contain all of these things at the same time. Whatever can be said about the tabloids, no one can deny that the reporting style is designed to wow you into buying their paper.

Apparently threatened by the tabloids, news agencies have decided to fight sensationalism with even more sensationalism. News items are now events complete with their own th…

Prologue The Ingrams
He remained frozen in place. The small form at his feet was barely moving but he knew nothing would be the same no matter what he chose to do next. Whether it was primal instinct or basic fear that motivated the man, Frank bent down and scooped the young child up in his arms. Holding the fragile form close to his chest, he slowly and steadily picked his way across the field toward a small shed where his wife was absorbed in mending a saddle. The old farmer could feel heat radiating off the small boy pressed against his shoulder. Fevers like this rarely ended well. He picked up his pace and finished crossing the field.
Frank Ingram was a simple man. Life had always been governed by the steady rhythm of routine and he liked it that way. When some of the younger men in the town would begin to wax philosophical and debate the meaning of life or ponder the true origins of the relics strewn around the countryside, Frank would usually shrug his shoulders and say, “I got a f…
