Julia Carmen (00:06):
Ola, beautiful light beings. Welcome back to the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. Yo, Julia Kamen, your host and creator of the School Without Waltz. Today I'm going to share with you a story and actually from a book that I wrote for a beautiful friend of mine, Jacqueline, and the title is Two Sisters. Two Sisters is a book about sisterhood, not just our biological sisters, but our soul sisters, our mothers daughters relationships, our the relationships, all the women that have touched our souls, and the many doors that we all walk through together. What the desire to come through, what the divine love that we all are. Isn't that beautiful? Let's get started. How we became sisters is still in my soul, spirit and heart.
Julia Carmen (01:19):
This dream only is a witness to me that we have progressed as one and as two, we are walking through that witch. We have been walking separate, but yet knowing of each other's path. We come to a meeting of the road and we reach for each other's hand, and we walk hand in hand. We look at each other with the knowing of the end of this path and nod to each other. We see an inviting garden of all that pleases us. We see here smell, feel, and taste and beyond this world and only know that we are home.
Julia Carmen (02:52):
We lie down on the grass, beautiful, loving grass. Its song to us is of pure love of the all. We are transformed to the new knowing of self and all. You turn to me and say, sister, let us now breathe in all the knowing. We breathe in and all that has been and will be becomes us separate and one at the same time. Then the awakening comes and there is no ego like I shared with you. That's the end. It's short and sweet. I actually drew all the, when you look at the book, if you catch the book, I drew all the pictures in there. I thought they were just kind of like too funky, but I don't know. She agreed. Yeah, so May who passed in 2019, I had a lot of beautiful women make their transition at that time. Taught me so much about being a human, about the different emotions and knowings, and I don't think it's very challenging sometimes to be women because in the past, I don't know now, but in the past it's always been almost always, not always in the last couple hundred years or whatever, maybe longer than that, where women were not really revered as such.
Julia Carmen (04:58):
And so there was always this competition. Now, check this out. Maya Manita was never competitive. I always took it as maybe there was some competitiveness is about, but there wasn't. She always looked at me as whole. Yeah, I mean, we had our times, but I don't think she ever looked at me as what I saw me, how I saw me myself at that time. We were in our late thirties, early forties, somewhere around there, and we had a really good time being together as a humans be. Yeah. But the one thing I do know, which I hope that we can all do, and that is that to enjoy ourselves in ways and loving ourselves in ways that are whole and beautiful. And if you are as a person blessed and fortunate enough to have wonderful, beautiful friends, and it's not all like Rosie and beautiful all the time, I think that's an illusion about friendships.
Julia Carmen (06:21):
But I always knew Jacqueline had my back. Always. I'd like to share a little something in closing, and you'll find it on our website where it says blogs. It's an old one way back, many, many, many years ago, and it was two little kittens, one's a little blonder, tanned, one and little and a cute little black kitten. A long time ago, Jacqueline sent me a card and Jacqueline happened in human form, was a beautiful black woman and I be a very fairy skin edman, and she sent me this picture, a card, and it had two little girls, one just so beautiful, black as knight and the other one bright as the sun, and they had their arms crossed around their shoulders and all you could see were their backs and their little bums, and she said, Julia, I will always have your back as you will always have mine. And I since has misplaced that card. I kept it with me and all my travels, wherever I moved, that card went with me so that I can remember my manita and how we came in together as little people and with so much joy and love. So the book, actually, the Two Sisters came from that thought process and then in the blog, you go to the website, you'll see the little two kittens, and this is what I wrote, and it says, who's got your back?
Julia Carmen (08:21):
Who's got your back? Have you ever seen your back? Do you know every inch of your back? I have wondered, where did that phrase come from? I guess you could go Google it, right? But let's just play a game. Let's just play for a moment here. Our backs are the largest part of our body, see, and yet we're not able to fully see it, right? Those around us will see our backs fully with one good look, one good look, right? Does everyone that fully sees our back, our backs have us have you? Probably there's a no and maybe yes, just ask yourselves. Ask yourself, who has your back? Who has my back trust? Who do we trust to have our backs? To have our backs?
Julia Carmen (09:41):
Here we go back again to self trusting oneself, to know who's got your back, and I know my ed had my back Again, like I shared with you before, we had an amazing relationship, highs and lows and in-betweens as messy as humans are, and we expressed feelings and emotions to each other, but always came back with those two little girls from that card that I wish I could find that you can just see this image of two little babies with their arms around each other with their cute little backs and their little from little chubby little bottoms with recognizing that. Yeah, that's how we start off.
Julia Carmen (10:38):
I'd like to finish with something I wrote a long time ago, and it's a quote that came thinking about women and how we see each other women of the now, we are not in competition of each other, nor are we in competition of our past or future. Amen. Remember that? Remember that we are not in competition of each other. No way, nor are we in competition of our past or future. I know I go back into the past of time and space when I see myself in the mirror now seven decades into this human existence and at times expect to see my 40 or 50 or even 60-year-old in there, and then I go, oops, and then I look into the future and go, oh, my chihuahuas, what the hell? I dunno, really, how much time do I have left? It's kind of scary, right? Or not, and that I know what is on the nonphysical realm of being and knowing that it is a continuation of I as I rebirth at some point, and the joyous relationships that I've had here on this planet, and then we'll continue in the non, when I say nonphysical, I it because we don't have a body yet. If you don't have a body, I guess it's not a physical body, but it's that divine soul, sister of self and the soul sister of the all of us. Amen.
