Cardinal and the window

For the past few weeks, a beautiful male cardinal has been bashing himself against the kitchen window. He apparently sees his reflection and is trying to drive that other cardinal out of his territory. We have tried a variety of things to stop him, but he is persistent.

This morning I realized how much I can be like that cardinal -- bashing away at things I see in others when the reality is that the thing I dislike in them is just a reflection of myself.

Well, der!
