Once or twice in the past I've been compelled to pen a diary that promotes another diary that needs more attention.
Tonight, I'm going to give a shout out to kellogg, who was penned a diary that is not only beautifully written but also offers some insight into the issue of framing.
Tonite, SusanG pointed out this diary to me - The Rhetoric of Now Part 2: Kairos- so I'm passing it along to you. If you like it, tell some else and give it a Recommend while your there.
