Ugh. One of our volunteer computers got one of those freaking blackmail viruses that sends you a threatening email with your own files attached and makes demands of you. From somewhere in Holland I think.

I pride myself on being smart with my PC but obviously not smart enough.

Anyhow I have forwarded everything to the RCMP.

Life lesson – take PC security seriously.

walking a diverging path
i fell into the quicksand of myself
and was lost to any others
falling into a darker place, an interior place
until i was a humanity of one
until i was a humanity of none

why empathy?
why sympathy?
only hubis makes sense
to a world made of the isolated

to acknowledge

that we can become lost,

is an honest thing,

is a powerful thing.

but to know we can always

find our way back home –

this is hope
