Plum[eria] Assignment

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is a lot like jazz - 

it's best 

when you improvise.

George Gershwin

Your time is limited, 

so don't waste it living 

someone else's life.

Steve Jobs

The piano ain't got 

no wrong notes.

         Thelonious Monk

The plumeria / frangipani flower

symbolizes birth, love,

Spring, new beginnings,

fresh life and renewal.

In Buddhist culture,

this blossom

represents immortality:

The plumeria lives,

and puts forth flowers,

even when uprooted.

Considered a sacred being,

plumeria is growing

outside of every

Buddhist temple in Laos.

This emblematic flowering tree

was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands

in 1860 by Wilhelm Hillebrand,

a German physician & botanist.

Often planted in churchyards

and Island cemeteries,

she is called

"Make Man Flower'

[ Pronounced:'Mah - Kay'

'Make' means

'Dead' in the Hawaiian

Language.] This is

every island child's

first lei;

Beloved by all!

If a Jacaranda blossom

falls on your head,

You will have good luck!

Jacarandas too are

emblems of rebirth

and Spring magic!

Your time is limited, so 

don't waste it living 

someone else's life.

Steve Jobs

Some people can't see

the color red. That

doesn't mean it

isn't there.

Each person you meet

is an aspect of yourself,

clamoring for love.

Where words are restrained, 

the eyes often talk 

a great deal.

If their eyes are shining,

you know you,re doing it.

Some of my deepest regrets

came out of my own mouth.

worth the effort.

We are all looking for

something of

extraordinary importance

whose nature we have

forgotten.

Any glimpse into the life

of an animal

quickens our own

and makes it so much

the larger

and better in every way.

John Muir

And who doesn't love baby ducks?

Oh. Right:

I close my eyes to old ends. 

And open my heart 

to new beginnings.

There is only one big risk 

I should avoid at all costs 

and that is the risk 

of doing nothing.

This journey has always been 

about reaching your own 

other shore no matter 

what it is, and 

that dream continues.

Whatever you want,

My life is a roller coaster 

on golden wheels; 

IT IS NEVER GOING 

TO BE PERFECT but 

I am glad for the 

perfect moments.
