A Candle
by Cheryl Merrick
Most flames join
the blazing hearth fire
adding to
its merry warmth,
But a few choose
solitary candlesticks
bringing light to even
the darkest night.
A Poet's Longing
by Cheryl Merrick
In a quiet room with a comfy chair
and large windows overlooking the world,
I found my poet's heart.
Within is a craving to experience
the hours of intense focus,
and the exquisite beauty
in the flashes of inspiration
which connect me to the divine.

Recentering as an INFJ
Once again I was burnt out and unhappy. As an INFJ (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging) this happens to me frequently. At these times, I pull back into my mind so I can regain my center; a sense of who I really am.
As I read and pondered, I was reminded that as an INFJ, I am one of the two personality types (INFP Introverted Intuition Feeling Perceptive is the other) who use intuition and feeling as a way to deal with life. This really is a different way to live. Like other introverted intuitive types, we spend a lot of time in the world of thought, but combined with Feeling this world becomes extra special. It is the world of imagination, of creativity, and of the spirit. We are roses in the cornfield. We are lights shining in the darkness.
We are also considered a bit weird, which as an INFJ, I can't deny.
