One of the profiles for my INFJ personality preference profile says that I supposedly have "the capabilities of a seer." If so, than some of my experiences today may confirm that:

(1) I knew that the bureaucracy of the Veterans Administration would not be as simple as I had been told. Whether that was because of some special insight that I have within me or because of my twelve years experience as a state bureaucrat, I don't know, but when I finally found the clinic to which I had been directed, I learned that I must first go through Intake at the VA Hospital before I can be served. Doug did not have the time to drive me to the hospital, so I must begin the trek again tomorrow.

(2) My greatest fear in this whole experience came true today. When we arrived at my house to pick up my mail and feed Alex, I could not find him. I called for Alex from the front yard and from the back. He never came. I pray that Alex is OK. I did refill his food bowls, which after a week were empty. I pray he is OK and that I'll see him whenever I can obtain another ride to my house.

If I do have seer abilities (which I truly doubt) they missed the most positive experience of the day. When I arrived back at my mother's home, there was a phone message from Nick, my oldest son. He came by, took me out for an excellent steak dinner, and will transport me to the VA hospital tomorrow. And, if we have the time, back to my house to again seek Alex.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. ~ Socrates, in Apology, sct. 21, by Plato.
