Local Love is a new weekly interview column shining a light on the amazing people that surround us daily as well as an effort to build community in Upper Makefield Township (PA). Susan Hill was selected as the debut interview and I'm sure you'll love getting to know Susan this week. Enjoy!
Patterns and themes perpetually emerge. Every small decision we make in reaction to those patterns and themes that emerge builds our life. Our lives then build this chapter in history.
How do you choose to contribute?You are more than this moment.
What you "do" can sometimes be as easy as saying one labeling word or phrase, but we all know that cannot possibly capture the essence of what you actually do. And on top of that we are constantly learning and morphing into new versions of ourselves.
It's not until we have the opportunity to swim away from our conditioning, tread the waters of "Where the hell am I?" and digest the quiet thoughts in our own head can we know how to properly proceed in a way that is in alignment with our inner compass.
We are all dancing at, what they call in yoga, our edge. That place where we are approaching our limit. It can be painful so we need to stretch slowly, sometimes modify the movement. Sometimes just hold it and tremble. The place where we quietly learn what we’re made of. What is ours to do and perhaps what is ours to put down and walk away from. For me, the edge is scary and juicy. It’s that beautiful paradox, where all the amazing pieces of life appear but we need to put in the energy and the real work to bring them into focus.
I hope it makes you laugh a lot, or at least giggle and maybe you'll be inspired to write a review of your own home. I highly recommend it! I found it to be an entertaining writing exercise. What else is there to do anyway?
