Moving With Intent
Most of us fear change and find new situations unsettling, but we need to keep things in perspective, be honest and share our fears. If you are troubled by your life taking a new direction this drama might help you to take a more lighthearted perspective.

| Jonathan | We’ve both given up our jobs, moved to a new town… (looks around) well, somewhere on the edge of a new town (shivers, pulls his sleeping bag closer round his neck). I want to go home. |
| Debbie | But it was your decision to sell the apartment! |
| Jonathan | But it was you who prayed in the first place! |
| Debbie | Yes, it’s always me who prays. |
| Jonathan | Exactly. You pester God all the time. I don’t suppose he ever gets any peace and quiet. |
| Debbie | That is absolutely the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. |
| (silence. They look at each other, then into the night.) | |
| Jonathan | What’s that over there? (pointing) |
| Debbie | What? |
| Jonathan | Over there. Are you blind? Looks like an animal or something! |
| (Debbie reaches back into the tent and pulls out a torch. She switches it on, and suddenly it is shining up into her face from beneath, giving her a strange appearance) | |
| Jonathan | (startled) Aauugh! |
| Debbie | Jonathan, calm down! (points torch into audience) It’s a garden gnome. (sarcastic) I don’t think he’s dangerous. (turns torch off) |
