Transitions
Posted 05.01.2010 8:17 AM CDT
Change is perhaps a series of transitions, although why quibble with words. ShareOn continues to grow, change, and experience transitions. At this point in time the ShareOn blog is involved in a clear transition moving from a single author to a blog where ShareOn Partners author segments.
As I consider "transitions" I seek to ensure that ideas, thoughts, people and perspectives stick together or have coherence and that the gap between one thing and another is bridged smoothly. I guess that is what a transition is – a vehicle to help bring things together. For example, transitional words and phrases represent one way of gaining coherence. Certain words help continue an idea, indicate a shift of though or contrast, or sum up a conclusion. A blog can be considered a transition as it is used to connect people and ideas – to bridge the gap in distance, time, and ideas – to gain coherence. I like the word community, in this context, perhaps it is a transition as well.
It is ironic that in the next few days with the ShareOn blog that we have a transition within a transition. To continue a common line of reasoning I probably should be using more words like:
consequently
clearly, then
furthermore
additionally
and
in addition
moreover
because
besides that
in the same way
following this further
also
pursuing this further
in the light of the... it is easy to see that.
Or, I may want to change the line of reasoning by using words like:
however
on the other hand
yet
nevertheless
on the contrary.
The text could be saturated with other transitional words:
admittedly
assuredly
certainly
granted
no doubt
nobody denies
obviously
of course
to be sure
true
undoubtedly
unquestionably
generally speaking
in general
at this level
in this situation.
I could be using transitional chains to chronologically arrange the transition:
first... second... third...
generally... furthermore... finally
in the first place... also... lastly
in the first place... pursuing this further... finally
to be sure... additionally... lastly
in the first place... just in the same way... finally
basically... similarly... as well.
And as we near the end to signal conclusion:
therefore
this
hence
in final analysis
in conclusion
in final consideration
indeed.
And to close:
finally
lastly.
In other words, point in fact, specifically, after this blog entry, before long, as soon as we get the first contribution from a ShareOn Partner, the next time you check the ShareOn blog it will be different. Meanwhile, in the meantime, check this site often.
Don't you just love transitions?
