Hope you enjoy the pics.
We waited an hour and a half  for the parade to start and this was the first float
A journey to New Orleans
 
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
