Creeping Ivy Comes in Many Forms

Found this berry laden ivy all along the path at the Greenwell State Park today. It reminds me of what’s happening in Eastern Europe. If this aggression isn’t stopped quickly, it will continue until it completely takes over whatever area it can get to. Some may see ivy as a lovely plant with beautiful berries and roots that prevents erosion, but the truth is, it is invasive and prevents beneficial plants from surviving. God look down on the Ukrainian and innocent Russian people and have mercy on them. Those hateful hackers share similar sinful traits. So far, they have not been able to obtain complete control over my mother. She will be with us this weekend, away from her phone and maybe we can bring her a bit of calm. Wish I had the same ability for the world. Try to find some inner peace friends. Thank you sincerely for your stars and kind comments yesterday. “As creeping ivy clings to wood or stone, And hides the ruin that it feeds upon, So sophistry, cleaves close to, and protects Sin's rotten trunk, concealing its defects.”
—William Cowper
