Feku'itan,
DON'T get hung upon the materials, pay attention to the ACTIVITY, and the mindset. I bow hunt with a compound Browning bow, but if you ever saw me thank the Deer for it's sacrifice, cut it's still warm heart out, offer it's blood to the four corners, and then tip the heart back, and drink it's warm blood in honor of it's life, something that I have done since I was TEN YEARS OLD, you would have no problem knowing that I AM TSALAGI, or Na'vi, take your pick.
DON'Y worry about the tool, pay attention to the MINDSET,
Niri Te

I agree on this one, "spirit is all that matters". There was a Spain TV program about a guy who hunts with a bow, & yes he has a super hi tech one - but watching How he does it, with hunter's spirit... attention, concentration, stealth, precision... the type of the bow matters much less than this attitude.

& he honors the animals by... making sketches of them. It's a different manner, but the same respect.

As for the "black & white world", the way I put it - I posted about it here, on Keeping the feeling alive, because I guess it fits good there. What I said here still stands true, but I am thinking about "doing the best job of the worst" - what to do if I happen to be in this world anyway, & most likely, for a duration!?

I guess one can get to enjoy things of this world again, when one has a passion. Niri Te has a passion for flying, Raiden - for creatures, some people for computer games when they "become" Na'vis (the night scenes are beautiful btw)... It's just a question of finding in a way "one's place on the wheel", I can't help thinking just how wise this is. I am definitely not a hunter - therefore I am grateful to hunters. I am a Dreamhunter (and a healer, a little bit), & also a "weaver" in a sense: I recommend interesting threads & posts to people here on ToS & nobody told me yet: "What a horrible thread you've sent me to!" - rather, it's the other way around. So yeah, I make "small tsaheylus".

So yeah, still looking for "Pandora on Earth" I haven't found it yet, I don't know if I ever will - but at least I am trying. There must be some way!
