I think you are missing a perfect opportunity to bring in a new image that of the Grail in place of bowl .

I think this meets all the requirements and gives a result of positive in this case.~~henie


Filling the rich grail
Test of survival what joy
you help with results

Henie, or, to put it another way, THE GRAIL IS ALREADY THERE, as you so perceptively pointed out. One of the haiku ideals is suggestion rather than overt statement. If the grail is already there, what is to be gained by pointing it out explicitly?

In any event, thanks for bringing this up!
