Whew, this phrase…for those who see it as the ending to a children’s game of hide-n-seek, totally get that and I’ll see you at tomorrow’s post. However, if you dare to wade into the deep end of the pool, keep reading. The origin of this phrase has a few interpretations but the gist is that it is safe to come out of hiding without fear. I’ve been sitting with this idea for days, and my conclusion is that I hope each of us have a space where we can come of hiding and be seen without fear. (I told you this one was going deep y’all.) SIDENOTE: Robert Fulghum wrote a brilliant piece on this phrase that I would highly recommend reading.
