Lavender

What is lavender? What does it make you think of? And does lavender mean anything to you?
Living with epilepsy, it is more that a flowering plant, much more. This particular flower represents loneliness and isotalion. Most times, lavender grows in a field, so far, nothing unusual about that.
However, have you noticed that most times, unlike a field where wild flower grow. you would find it a field of lavender and nothing else.
Just try and imagine being only one species of a fowering plant. Even though there are nearly 40 kinds of lavender, it`s kind of like always going to the same Baskin-Robbins and always ordering a two-scoop ice cream cone, even though there are 36 different flavours. At some point, human nature takes over and you get tired of going to the same place and ordering the same thing over and over.
In the case of someone who is living with epilepsy, isolation and motonomy can set in, fueled by rejection from friends, family or society in general. At a certain point in time, staring at the same four walls becomes a case of going through the motions, living with loneliness and suffering in silence.
There is always hope for someone who lives with isolation. éwhenever I take the to smell the roses, or in this case, lavender, I always seem to be filled with the hope that all is not lost, the isolation, the solitude can be broken, so they may feel a sense of inclusion, come what may.
