Emergere is Latin for "to bring to light"

emerge (v.)

"to rise from or out of anything that surrounds, covers, or conceals; come forth; appear, as from concealment," 1560s, from French émerger and directly from Latin emergere "bring forth, bring to light," intransitively "arise out or up, come forth, come up, come out, rise," from assimilated form of ex "out" + mergere "to dip, sink". The notion is of rising from a liquid by virtue of buoyancy.


It feels like we are in a collective moment of emergence. We went through the world shutting down, we learned to shelter in place, and we are now emerging.

What does that look like for you?

For me it is messy. I feel like I am caught in sped-up time and miss the slowed-down time of shelter in place. I am feeling all these parts of myself coming online as I move back into all roles of my life. Parts also of myself that I did not even know of before. I feel the chaos of the collective. I try to feel this chaos and confusion as freedom to be a new Self because we are no longer bound by rigid realities. The world was shaken, realities are falling apart, and in that chaos we have the chance at rebirth. We are emergent. 

Are you noticing anything in these time?
