irayo, ma Na'vi-ya I know that "this cause is worth fighting for" but encouragement and thanks always feel nice

I am becoming a frequent guest on this thread... but I love it!

I have a letter from "Johnny-the-younger-brother-from-a-Department-of-Corrections" (corrections??? what a joke) right here, & was thinking to reply... but first I feel like writing something about Sylwanin trying to talk to Neytiri "from Eywa". I had this vision yesterday, during a foot massage session - it is very soft: soft movement, soft light, soft music, so it is easy to go trancy. Here it is:

When Sylwanin died, & left the body, she felt very angry, & also guilty for not being able to stop the "Terran monsters" no matter how she tried. When she saw how devastated Neytiri was, she felt even worse, & more guilty - for having died so young & leaving her small sister alone. But she was already within Eywa, & realized that there was a purpose in her passing: Eywa had a plan for Neytiri to become a Tsahik cos many things were going to change, & although Omatikaya had their rules on who becomes a Tsahik, Eywa deemed it should be different that time. And Sylwanin was to help Neytiri from above, like a big sister. Only when Sylwanin left she realized just HOW much they loved each other, & would slap herself, if she could, for not having said it earlier. Having discovered this, Sylwanin tried to whisper in Neytiri’s ear: “I live, & I love you! You have a big purpose, everything will come out fine!” But Neytiri was so grief-stricken that couldn’t hear. Sylwanin tried to access into her dreams, and in dreams it was wonderful to be together again – but when Neytiri would wake up, she would cry wishing she never woke up at all. Sylwanin was worrying more and more: on the surface, Neytiri was a perfect clan member, but “a black hole” in her chest was growing, & nothing seemed to fill it. She wouldn’t talk about her hurt to anybody either: such a tough cookie, this girl! Sylwanin didn’t know what to do, so she spoke with other ancestors. They listened very attentively, and responded that yes, it was very difficult for the living accept the departure of a loved one. Of course all the Na’vi knew that those who go, go to Eywa, & it’s easier for them to “cross the threshold” thru special rituals releasing the spirit. But for those who stay behind, it is so hard to accept the sheer physical absence! They understood the situation, & the predicament of both sisters very well, & suggested to Sylwanin to talk to Neytiri thru the Tree of Souls. Sylwanin concentrated all her will-power & love, & planted the image of the Tree of Souls in Neytiri’s mind; whatever she was doing, this image kept coming to her, until she decided to go & find out. She sneaked out while everybody was sleeping & headed there. Sylwanin was anxiously looking from above: will she? Is it possible to finally talk? Just in case, she sent an atokirina, who appeared in front of Neytiri & flew ahead, & then, in the depths of depression, a light suddenly shone for her: “It’s my sister! How come I haven’t thought of Tree of Souls before??” She started running faster & faster, so fast that when she arrived, she tripped over something & had the Tree of Souls fibers in her face, & her cue connected to them on its own - & finally Sylwanin could pour all her love on Neytiri’s head! They were crying and laughing at the same time, remembering the pranks they used to pull, & talking about how they cherished each other – things that they were not voicing too much while Sylwanin was alive cos “it went without saying”, but now it seemed a perfect moment to say them out loud. Then Sylwanin grew serious & said: “Sister, I went away so that you would become a Tsahik. Don’t argue: it’s Eywa’s purpose. Learn well, pay attention to signs. Things will change, & a lot, & you’re going to play a big part in this change... There will be a newcomer... he is important... but I don’t see anything further. Learn well, ok? I shall help you as I can”. Neytiri realized that she was going, and was like: “Oh, please, stay, sister! I so love being with you!” To which Sylwanin answered: “ I love you too, & always shall! & you know where to find me!” and poured more love thru the tsaheylu, until Neytiri started smiling again, then she left assured.
When she got up the next morning, Mo’at was pleasantly surprised to see the hidden light in Neytiri’s eyes. Something happened, something good. She didn’t want to insist, but was relieved to see the smile on her daughter’s face again.

In fact, I tried to make it a poem but i couldn’t get anywhere. Obviously, my talent lies in different areas...
However, if you, Neytiri_Quest, like this story, & want to transform it into a poem... you have the green light from me!

I enjoyed your Sylwanin story, apache_blanca. That was very nice, and had some rich imagery

I am uncertain where the poetry muse will guide me next. Another poem about Sylwanin would be fine with me, though.

thanks in fact my heart wish was to post something like this on Community support thread - I saw 3 threads in the last month from people who lost somebody dear. But i am unsure about the response on the public thread so I limit myself to "hope they are fine within Eywa"

I am uncertain where the poetry muse will guide me next. Another poem about Sylwanin would be fine with me, though.

haha muses are like this! you never know with them... but - whatever comes out, just go with the flow & it will be fine! We'll sure enjoy it

I am back maybe I should be sorry for posting one after another? Well, in fact I am not sorry - but tell me if you mind

I just wanted to say (after pondering for sometime) that I am pleasantly surprised to find romantic & capable of "fierce love" men on this thread! wow, you love poetry & even write it... that's of course only one facet of feeling & expressing love... I thought your race was extinct & you moved on to different worlds/dimensions...

But hey, live & learn, I see a hope for the world here pity I seem to be the only woman on this thread - but thumbs up to you guys, never let this light go out!

(PS to Neytiri_Quest: I loved "I Knew You Neytiri" probably most, altho all are beautiful & unique - like there are no identical flowers, each is beautiful it's own way. But this one makes many bells ring, one bell is "Only Love Is For Real" by Brian Weiss (a super-serious psychiatrist turned PLT guru) - that's it! the love beyond time and space... it meant the whole world to me... THANKS)

The people are always there, sometimes you just need to look hard - in those cases, people can easily be used to hiding their true feelings, I know that all too well myself.

yeah... this ^^^^ is the theme of this month: do I really See people around me? I got some surprises recently (like, my driving instructor happened to be an Avatar fan, too - I would have never imagined it! She didn't know about the forums & since she doesn't speak English I sent her to AvatarSpainForo, hope she finds her clan there i feel she has none in RL...

- in those cases, people can easily be used to hiding their true feelings, I know that all too well myself

I know it too well, too, & you know what - I daresay in many cases relationships would be easier if people said what they felt! both ways, whether it's nice, or not so. It's better to know the truth - & to be able to face it, too. "What does your heart tell you?"

Hi apache_blanca. It's always nice having women on this thread. And there are plenty of men capable of "fierce love"; many of them are just afraid to admit or express it. I'm glad you enjoyed the poems, especially "I Knew You Neytiri". And I appreciate the nice words. I'm glad the poem meant something to you.

kalTXi Neytiri_Quest! It's been a while...
Remember our talk about Big Sisters, & my "adopted brother"? Well I did sent him your Neytiri to Sylwanin poem + my Sylwanin to Neytiri + Avatar plot... Here's the feedback
(the only thing, he thought that I was the author! haha I explained him that I wasn't but every time he says "you" he means you (Neytiri_Quest) of course...)
Here it goes:
"The poem was beyond amazing. You are very skilled at what you do. I am utterly surprised you haven't written a book, a movie, and/or something along those lines. Or have you?... I would definitely be your No.1 fan!... You captured some emotion in your poem that resembled what I felt when my sister passed away. It was therapeutic to read, so I've read it several times. (THANK YOU!!!)"

[Neytiri_Quest]

Thank you for passing along the words of your "adopted brother", apache_blanca. I'm glad the Sylwanin poem was so meaningful for him.
