She said,“Transform yourself to transform the world.”  \nI dedicate this book also to the memory of Charity Hicks, who saw all the interconnected patterns as  \nclear as day. She said, “Wage love.”  \nEPIGRAPH  \n“This may only be a dream of mine, but I think it can be made real.”  \n—Ella Baker  \nINTRODUCTION  \nFirst and foremost, thank you for opening this book. I hope you  \nenjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed living, learning, and gathering it.  \nWherever you are beginning this, take a deep breath and notice how you feel in your body, and how the world around you feels.  \nTake a breath for the day you have had so far.  \nAnd a breath for this precious moment, which cannot be recreated.  \nNow, another for the day and night coming.  \nHere you are, in the cycle between the past and the future, choosing to spend your miraculous time in the exploration of how humans, especially those seeking to grow liberation and justice, can learn from the world around us how to best collaborate, how to shape change.1  \nAs I am gathering and writing this book, there is a trail of ants moving along the ceiling of my room, and the sounds of a small jungle town coming in and out of the screened open windows, birds cawing, laughter, children’s delight emerging from that, then tears. A car backfires and I flinch, a lizard peeks at me from the door. It’s been raining for a few days and the air feels thick.  \nI feel good, I’ve been meditating, picking up my yoga practice, biking the two miles to the beach when the sun comes out. Something is injured in my knee, but I am feeling alive against my limits.  \nI came to this edge of Mexico to pull a book together because, a few years ago, it was here, near this tiny portion of the massive ocean, that I began to realize how important emergent strategy, strategy for building complex patterns and systems of change through relatively small interactions,  \nis to me—the potential scale of transformation that could come from movements intentionally practicing this adaptive, relational way of being, on our own and with others.  \nThe waves drifting me towards and then away from the shore, seabirds of all kinds flocking over the salty blue, peli‐ cans dropping down and scooping schools of tiny fish into their big mouths. Diving under the moving surface to see how everything humans leave in the water is repurposed asan ecosystem. Laying in a hammock and watching mosquito mamas approach me, wait for my attention to wander so they can feed on my blood.  \nI love the scene at the end of The Matrix where Neo sees everything in green-on-black code. Emergent strategy is away that all of us can begin to see the world in life-code—awakening us to the sacred systems of life all around us. Many of us have been and are becoming students of these systems of life, wondering if in fact we can unlock some crucial understanding about our own humanity if we pay closer attention to this place we are from, the bodies we are in.  \nThe world is full of beauty, magic, miracles, and patterns that induce wonder. This book is a collection of essays, speeches, spells, interviews, conversations, tools, profiles, and poems sharing my learning processes in the face of that wonder. You are basically holding a book of me saying,“Wow, everything’s so amazing!” Or,“That’s not wow…Why not go with the wow option?”  \nEmergence is one of the best concepts I have learned for discussing this wow, this wonder.“Emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.”2  \nIt is another way of speaking about the connective tissue of all that exists—the way, the Tao, the force, change, God/dess, life.
