The Colours of Me
Inspiration and the Expression of Self
You are the rainbow, light passing through me
Spectrum of silence before you come to me
Pierce through the darkness, colour the deep sky
Life to my senses, voice to my mind's eye
You are the colours of me
Deep in the caverns, echoes of nothing
You find the magic, mystic and lovely
Cut through the surface, depths of creation
Find the potential, rare liberation
You see what eyes cannot see
You are the colours of me
Silent and barren, mind like a desert
Seeds of redemption, deep in a culvert
You pull the fertile waters to surface
My soul's intention, blooming with purpose
You breathe the life into me
You see what eyes cannot see
You are the colours of me

Opening Schrodinger's Box
There is a thought experiment in quantum physics where a cat inside a box has a 50% chance of being alive, and until you open that box to confirm his condition, the cat is, theoretically, both alive and dead. Schrodinger’s cat, as the imaginary feline is known, has his fate sealed only when you open the box. Similarly, a missing cat may theoretically be both alive and dead in your mind until he’s been found - even if he’s never found - and while finding him will seal that fate for better or for worse, it is only in opening that box that the weight of that question can be removed from your mind.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
