A newborn child grows and plays,
learning family life-long ways.
Each family will have joys to share
and maybe wounds will need some care.
Teens spiral out to church and school.
Not one of them without some tools.
From village, town and cities strong
grown children enter world’s great throngs.
Building community quite far from home,
when babies are born, new families bloom.

Epilepsy in one child, in one adult, one elder
affects families and communities ~
~ locally, regionally, nationally and globally.
“I don’t believe that life is linear. I think of it
as circles ~ concentric circles that connect.”
