Cardinals
The word has lots of different meanings to different people. St. Louis, the religious position in the Catholic Church, a shade of red, the state bird of Ohio, etc... but I'm talking about the beautiful birds. When I was little, I called them "Lady Birds" and I hadn't even heard of Lady Bird Johnson. I just thought of them as the bird version of a lady bug. Every time I see one I think of it as a good sign. Au contraire, every time I see a blue jay I think of it as bad luck. (Same thought process went into naming my red fish "Optimism" and my blue fish "Pessimism") Anyway, I have a Bio test coming up and we keep talking about things like sexual selection, the reason why the males are brighter than the females and so on... Tonight I was walking around outside and I saw a male and a female flirting with each other. I should have taken a picture, but it was too dark. Just wanted to share my lady bird thoughts with you :-)

I LOVE cardinals. I always like to think of them as a symbol for the Holy Spirit...kind of like the dove, but I thouthg cardinals were better because they're both red and everywhere...as the color of the Holy Spirit is red, and the fact that the Holy Spirit is literally everywhere.
Interesting thought, no?
