Say your truths and seek them in others (transcript)
Summary
No matter where you live in the world, and no matter the age, sisters seem to have the same relationship. There are love and friendship, they don't talk deeply, though. There are also protection, jealousy, competition, rejection, and attack there. They are hesitant to tell their truths to reveal their wounds or to admit our wrongdoings.
However, it just covers each other’s soul.
Uncover your soul.
Try to stay open, even in difficult and painful situations.
Step off your busy days.
It's getting a big dose of sacred awe though we have to step toward the others with courage.
To offer our truths and to seek it in another and in the world.
We can do or try to do something other than rejection or attack.
