The order of things

I often get reminder notices from my brain.   I have not had a generalized seizure in over a year (Yay!).  I know the medication helps, but I also know I have learned to pay attention to the warning signs.  I continue making plans.  I also realize plans may need to change.  I keep my prayer list next to the places I go to chill out.  When I drive, I travel familiar routes.  This allows me to explore the wilderness with my clients.

I shower and dress

For a funeral

Then realize

My brain has ordered

A different day

Than the one

I had planned.

I change back

Into my pajamas,

Pray for the people

I will not see

Today.

This is a lesson

I must learn

Again and again.

Today I may pray

With the windows and doors

Open to the world,

Me in the blue recliner.

Today I may pray

A different way

Than planned.

Such is the order

Of things.

Sometimes it is different

Than I had planned.
