Dear Onantu,
Ewya, the Great Mother, watches over her creation with an all-encompassing presence. She is the sentinel of balance, ensuring that every living creature, from the smallest luminescent insect to the towering trees of the jungle, exists in harmony.
Her essence is the pulse of life, a constant reminder that every action ripples through the web of existence. Eywa is the guardian of equilibrium; her influence is a quiet but powerful force that maintains the delicate dance of life and death. Her wisdom is ancient, her reach infinite, and under her gaze, our home thrives.
The Metkayina say that water has no beginning nor end, that it's around us and in us, that it's both a whisper and a roar, an eternal loop that binds all living things. The sea is not just a physical presence; it's an essence of life itself. Our hearts beat in the womb of the world, our breath burns in the shadows of the deep. The sea gives and the sea takes, a relentless cycle of creation and destruction, of nurturing and reclaiming.
Water is life and death, calmness and chaos.
Sometimes we benefit from its abundance, drawing sustenance and vitality from its depths. Other times, we are humbled by its power, victims of its unforgiving force. But the system is larger than all of us.
Undeniable and omnipresent, it operates beyond our control, a testament to the intricate and unfathomable nature of existence. The more we can embrace its truths, the more we can find peace and acceptance in both the good and the bad. In understanding water, we come to understand life itself.
Like Ewya, water maintains a balance of life. Often times, it's said that we are but small ripples in the vast ocean of existence. Water flows, endlessly, shaping landscapes, carving paths through stones, and nurturing life wherever it goes. It is a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, intertwined with the rhythm of the world.
Water is not just something we interact with; it is something we are. in one moment, it offers a serene surface upon which we can float, basking in its gentle embrace. In the next, it can become a maelstrom, swallowing us whole.
This duality is the essence of existence, a reminder of the ever-present balance between tranquility and turbulence. The stronger our awareness of water, the stronger our awareness of life itself. We're in it, whether we realize it or not. And the more you become like it, become it, the better.
To embrace water is to embrace life and it's impermanence.
So to answer your question,
To live by the way of water is to embrace its fluidity, its adaptability, its resilience. It is to understand that we are part of a greater whole, a dynamic system that flows and changes with time. The way of water is nothing less than everything.
