Prompt 164: Shackles

Ramesh Sood of A Little More Than Ordinary brings us this week's prompt, shackles, and this wonderful poem:


To Live Like A Human Tree

O’ God from all the shackles
Let my mind become free
Let me grow in all directions
Just like an old tree

Let me bear the fruitsf
Of knowledge in every season
To bless one and all, from
Every caste, creed and religion

Let my roots become stronger
To birds of love branches be the hosts
And just like dry dead leaves
Shed from my mind unwanted thoughts

Unwise men may try to betray
Or even conspire to destroy me
Give me courage and the wisdom
To live like a Human Tree..

O’ God from all the shackles…

OSI E-mail Was Hacked

Tonight, Sandy learned that OSI e-mail was hacked. The hack seemed similar to the Facebook hacks that I have seen for iPhones. In those hacks, you get an iPhone offer in the mail or IM. When you click on the message, e-mails with the similar offer are sent to everyone you know. Somehow our password was hacked and we think that some of you may have gotten these iPhone offers. If you have, we suggest you change your e-mail password immediately. We have changed our passwords and now our e-mail works again. Google stopped all activity on our OSI e-mail account when the trouble started, so hopefully none of you were affected. If you tried to e-mail us and don’t think we got your message, please re-send it. Our apologies to all of you.

Thank you —

Andrée & Sandy
