Why Emergence?
Emergence... describing it is almost like talking about air or explaining what yellow looks like. You have befriended it for sure. In fact the process of becoming who you are, of finding your way to this moment, of reading these words is itself a demonstration of an emergent process.
It was not preplanned long ago that you would be where you are encountering this piece of writing. It is the interaction of thousands, millions even, of microsteps, mini decisions, and ripple-through impacts of everything else that is the reason you are you and you are here. In this way we can say that life is emergence, or at least an emergent process that is always unfolding. The interactions of tiny molecules and microbes gave rise to more complex life forms through a not fully random but not predestined process.
By cultivating more awareness of emergence we are cultivating more awareness of how things actually are. In a way, it is like a mindfulness practice. As you notice the emergent nature of things you naturally will build a new lens through which to perceive the world.
Learning to hold space for, and intentionally dance with this emergent quality of life is a beautiful skill. It means you can live more in flow, feel less frustrated, and more reasonably respond to the inevitable unforeseen unfoldings your life and your plans will hold.
