From cropping to the surface
Hi Friends,
What is the meaning of "from cropping to the surface" in text bellow:
The expected patterns of our lives are not just intended to produce familiarity, but to prevent truths with which it is hard to live from cropping to the surface.
It sounds idiom that I don't know its meaning.
Would you help me?
Thanks

It's not an idiom. It's a merger of two common expressions - "crop up" (which means to occur/appear suddenly/unexpectedly) and "come to the surface" (which means to emerge or become apparent/visible/obvious).
