Juggling clubs and balls by Cote Velazquez from Chile | IJA Tricks of the Month

This series is part of eJuggle, the IJA’s online juggling resource: https://www.juggle.org/ejuggle.

My name is María José Velásquez Faúndez, I'm 29 years old, and I live in the city of La Ligua, Chile. This time, we've produced our second production alongside Juan Pablo Vilches Morán and Macarena Leiva Torres, each contributing their incredible talents and skills.
It was recorded in areas near our town, where we sought to highlight the beauty of a natural environment located in a sacrifice zone.
This video commemorates the 10 years I've been juggling, to highlight the strength it has given me to win my own battles and the freedom this discipline has given me to spread my wings to the world. Juggling puts me in my rightful place wherever I am.
In memory of Mex Algusto, artist, guitarist, and friend, he joined us in our previous video with the beatmaker and instrumentals. At this moment, he transcended our realm and will be remembered with much love for everything he gave to his art and passion

THE SOUL CALLS
(Maca Leivat)
*Chorus*
I carry a burning fire within me,
I hold an immortal song in my chest.
The soul calls and asks me to open:
flowers and birds want to fly out.
*Verse 1*
I walk barefoot at dawn,
the shadows come and whisper to me,
but I stand firm, without retreat.
I face the fear,
I take paths that lead me to what is true.
I hear the forest: its eyes guide me, they are the birds that show me
the way to the exit,
the liberation and the healing
that have always come from the heart.
*Verse 2*
When I sail inward,
I get lost, I find myself;
I resist, die, am reborn, and bloom.
With strength, from the root I sprout again,
even if it’s hard and I must lift cement.
I trust that from above, I’m accompanied
by my angels, ancestors, and the beings who love me.
That’s why, full of courage and strength,
I became a warrior
with great inner strength.
*Chorus*
I carry a burning fire within me,
I hold an immortal song in my chest.
The soul calls and asks me to open:
flowers and birds want to fly out.
*Verse 3*
I learned to be the guardian of my body,
of my energy and my thoughts,
of my emotions and all my processes,
and of the treasures I carry inside.
I no longer get lost in laments,
I just keep trying
to live by making art,
to give my best part.
*Bridge*
The soul calls and asks me to open:
flowers and birds want to fly out.
*Verse 4*
There are no longer borders
in my mind and heart.
I am grateful for what I have
and I embrace who I am.
From pain and joy,
learning each day,
transforming and transmuting
into love and melody.
Between light and darkness,
that constant duality
that takes me and brings me,
that moves me like the sea;
that to rise, you must go down;
to be happy, you just have to love.
Between life and death,
between the fragile and the eternal...
You will always be.
You will always be.
