"A soul friend is someone with whom we can share our greatest joys
and deepest fears,
confess our worst sins and most persistent faults, clarify
our highest hopes and perhaps
most unarticulated dreams."
Edward C. Sillner
Our Shadow Side
The Shadow side we push beneath
Is yearning to see light;
We tamp it down and hide it,
We think it’s not quite right.
So when we meet that someone
Who has that “type” therein,
We shun and think, "inferior"
And want no part of him.
But when we let that part of us
Come through to light of day,
We will find the other guy
Is pretty much okay.
For after all, God made us
In the image of His Son;
ALL the parts are beautiful -
HE LIVES IN EVERYONE.

My Twin and I
My sister [INFP] is my [ESTJ] opposite -
We don’t see eye to eye;
She thinks a thing is cruel,
I think it’s justified.
She says we had a "fight",
"Discussion" is my word -
And when we give opinions,
Neither argument is heard!
She mulls a thing forever -
In me, it’s soon forgot;
Diverse in all our ways,
WE'VE LEARNED TO LAUGH A LOT!

My Sis
My sister [INFP] is my opposite [ESTJ]
In temperament and style.
While I do lots of laughing,
She has a gentle smile.
My sister, when she’s angry,
Clams up and doesn’t speak.
But I do lots of yelling
And tend to stomp my feet!
It’s really quite amazing
How well we get along...
I guess when love predominates,
There is no right or wrong!
