These are the 'Ole Moons (link to a wonderful digital book about Mahina and the Hawaiian methodology for tracking time and living time created by the Edith Kanakaole Foundation), not a good time for planting or fishing; a perfect time for review and weeding and mending nets and correcting errors.
The video included with this post expands on a previous blog post. Hear and see the artists involved in creating Project Kuleana for insight into contemporary Kanaka (Hawaiian) living and growing truth, pono and excellence.

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Ho!
