The difference of a day, and a big win

Yesterday’s Super Bowl game was just what I needed. It was a clean, impressive, exciting and immensely gratifying to watch New Orleans win.

You may have noticed the fleur-de-lis on the side of their helmets. This is a heraldic representation of an Iris, which is also the symbol of one of my other favorite cities, Firenze, Italia. The flower ultimately represents the Goddess Iris, who is the messenger between the gods and humanity, manifesting herself in the rainbow. The iris flower is one of the most resilient plants on earth: it sends up its rainbow flowers in hundreds of climates and countries in many styles and hues. Yesterday there was no rainbow at that game that we could see, but surely you can feel it now.
