  2. Quiz Time Transition Challenge False True

  3. Change Change, change and more change, Of context, place and time. Why is it that Life’s transient stage Plays havoc with my mind? You said “we’ll go to McDonalds” But this was just a thought. I was set for hours, But the plan then came to naught

  4. My tears and confused frustration, At plans that do not appear, Are painful beyond recognition, And push me deeper into fear. How can life be so determined? How can change be so complete? With continuity there is no end, Security and trust are sweet.

  5. So who said that change would not hurt me? Who said my ‘being’ could not be safe? Change said ‘you need continuity’ In order to find your place. For change makes all things different, They no longer are the same What was it that you really meant? All I feel is pain. (Wendy Lawson, 1998)

  12. Transition Transition is about moving, to where or what one asks? This is my very question, from present or the past. Time for me is all the same, I know not of its future I only know I trust in now…..tomorrow can come, I only need to know how. (Wendy Lawson, 2003)
