Altogether: (adv.) 1. completely; totally 2. Including everyone or everything

There it is.

Right before my nose, sprouting before my eyes, available for my brain–but completely unaccepted to this point.

Yes, not until I looked at the word did I realize how it works. For truthfully, the word “all” has to lose one of its “l’s” to get “together.”

The word is not spelled “alltogether,” with every letter intact. You have to get the “l” outta there.

In the process of achieving togetherness, all of us will have to forfeit something.

It’s simple. It’s powerful.

And our only responsibility is to make sure that we don’t ditch … what’s important.
