If, as the truism goes, there is nothing permanent except change, it follows that we are always in some sort of transition as we move from one state to another. Life is, therefore, just one transition after another.
When the transition is gradual (the relentless business of getting older comes to mind!), we may not recognise that we are in a transition at all until some sort of tipping point is reached. This is like the poor frogs that were so successful at adjusting to gradual increases in the temperature of the water that they allowed themselves to be boiled alive (the transition from being alive to being dead is perhaps the ultimate tipping point!). Sudden changes, as opposed to subtle ones, such as being badly injured in an accident or suffering a stroke or heart attack, are inescapably obvious and fling us unceremoniously into a period of intense adjustment.
