Some see fences as barriers. Stop.
No trespassing. Keep out. I see them
a little differently. In life, we all need
some sort of fencing within us, if only
to keep out those who will trespass in
our minds. Take up residence without
permission. Some of my strongest fences
are about the relationship I have with epilepsy. These fences are limits to how I can proceed in life. They can be ignored and allowed to fall into disrepair, but that will not keep epilepsy contained. It will be allowed to crash right through and lay waste to all the life around me. Right now the voice of epilepsy is silent, but reminds me that my limits ~ my fences ~ need to be reinforced.
“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.”
