Reflections, What Do You See?

 

 

 

 Dilly, the drake, died.. Daffy Duck, his mate, was devastated and would spend hours in front of our cellar window quacking at her reflection. We ended her loneliness by taking her out to a farm with other ducks.

Years later a robin was throwing itself at  our front window. I called the Wild Bird Center and was told that male robins are territorial during mating season. 

 

 

The duck saw her reflection as a friend, the robin saw his as an enemy. What do I see when I look in the glass? What do I do then?

 "For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was."

(1 James 1:23-24)
