the whole shebang

My brother-in-law DeeDee Snowden would often say this – “There’s a lot to it.” Whenever he said it, his meaning in that particular moment felt crystal clear.

This morning, while I was sitting, an image appeared in my mind – “Warehouse of treasures.” Something about this day, this Friday, offering up a warehouse of treasures. The same as every day. Same as it ever was.

Now, 5:11 am, this warehouse of treasures feels like just the tiniest smidge of a slice of the “lot” in there’s a lot to it. Though I may be entirely wrong about that – the “Warehouse of treasures” may be the whole shebang.
