The King Ant
an Ant Colony is common example of Emergence.
in an Ant Colony - there is a queen ant, which has an important role - but her role is not leadership.
that is the King Ant's job...
only there is no King Ant - because if there were, it wouldn't be an Ant Colony and it wouldn't be an example of Emergence - it would be a Kingdom and an example of Hierarchy.
Proverbs 6:6-8

thanks for that helpful post. i feel lately like i am seeing a lot of heirachy in emergent clothing.
Emergence requires time which requires patience. Emergence suggests embracing, in many cases, the abstract over the concrete. Emergence requires humility, trust, sharing, and wisdom. Perhaps this is why it appears to be elusive. I guess we need to keep looking at the ant.
