love is a tree
submission for the "Love in 50 words" challenge
a tree, ancient, and ever growing;
its roots bury itself in the earth
and refuse to let go.
from this tree sprouts forth a forest,
small until it expands beyond the horizon line,
and the upper branches kiss the iridescent sky,
like a mother tenderly kisses her newborn child's forehead.

Super Bowl LX Recap: A Team Called Hawks
Sixty. The Super Bowl turned 60! Still amazes me that this was the sixtieth Super Bowl played in NFL history. It seems like yesterday that I watched Super Bowl XXVII, the first SB I ever watched. The QB who won Super Bowl XXVII has since called a few SBs, and will call next year's game, but that's another story. Super Bowl LX took place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the home stadium of the San Francisco 49ers. However, it was one of their division foes who represented the NFC, as the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New England Patriots.
