HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY CREATIVE CAFE Kate of Omshanti Handicrafts is DAY 2 Winner of Cheer Up Competition

[Jill]

Kate of Omshanti Handicrafts whose adorable cat Loiosh is pictured above is Day 2 Winner of our Creative Cafe Cheer Up Competition. Kate is always being cheerful and active on Creative Cafe with her blog posts and lovely photos. In particular this post of a friend's wedding she went to was very cheerful for us.
At the wedding Kate read out the words of the following poem by Maya Angelou while Loiosh looked on looking lovely as he does.
"Touched by an Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free."
— Maya Angelou

Kate wins $5 as Day 2 winner of our Happy 2nd Birthday Cheer Up Creative Cafe Competition.
