i used to live on cheesman park in denver. my apartment overlooked the park. i was looking out the window and saw a couple making love. i watched and watched. i happened to look down and there was homeless man in the bushes also watching. we both watched until the couple was through. when i looked down at the man in the bushes he was looking up at me. i felt totally repulsed by him. i thought, you creep hiding in the bushes and watching. then as we looked at each other i had total recognition of myself in him. i don't know if many of you know about the shadow sides of ourselves, parts we can't accept in us so we are outraged in others when we see it. it was a true shadow recognition moment.
