Back in September we linked to Diana's excellent blog, Salad Bingo. We don't often re-link too soon to a blog but her post today entitled Why? is fabulously concise and eloquent, yet at the same time addresses the age old issue of our pain. It addresses it in a way that others could maybe start to comprehend why we transition or feel compelled to do so in an engaging and simple way.
So I highly recommend you pop over to Diana's blog and point anyone how asks you 'why?' over there as well.
Enjoy a beautiful piece of writing.
