Slow Changes

September 6, 2021 By Nancy Casey

From the atoms of our bodies to the earth under our feet and black holes in distant space, nothing stays the same. Ever. Not personalities, not relationships, not attitudes. Change is the only constant.

There are an infinite number of ways to fill in the blanks of this sentence:

Slowly, slowly ____ turns into _____.

Write one sentence that fits that pattern. Then add a couple more sentences that explain further.

Choose a word or phrase from what you just wrote and plug that into the pattern sentence, describing how this new thing changes, even if it seems it doesn’t.

Work your way down the page that way, describing how things or situations that seem immutable are actually changing all the time.

When the page is full, add illustration if you like. Give your work a title, sign it and write the date on it.

Nancy blogs weekly for the Latah Recovery Community Center, sharing writing ideas that support self-awareness and self-esteem.


Looking for an art project that is secretly full of math? Or a math project that results in interesting art? Equilateral Triangle is an Inquiry Pack full of project ideas that will keep you thinking for a long time.


Writing classes and workshops

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
