Interestingly
A leaf from Hawaiian myths
Kulua a savior

Revelation of
the Water Bearer beats the
icing on the cake

Blessings of water
occasionally spilled to
wet the grounds below

Note: When the moon is in its first quarter in January and February it is thought to be a bowl where the Gods gather rain water for spring. The Hawaiians can see then the Water Bearer (a constellation) The name of the moon for that period is Kulua  -  Chev
