I spent over a week in this magical place with my daughter during her four-week Artist in Residency experience facilitating collaborative song-writing with at-risk youth. Let's just say, that no one leaves this "wooden palace" unchanged, me included. Here are the lyrics that were created by a group of girls about this very space:
Wooden Palace
Birds call out somewhere above
Welcoming us with their songs of love
Let the river lead you there
It can guide you anywhere
Hearing birds sing as we walk
I would rather listen than talk
I can hope, I can dream
I can laugh, I can sing
Trees stand tall, peace sets in
Palace full of positivity
It can be your friend if you let it be
Unplugged with an open heart
Absorbing nature brings a new start
Set things free, let them live
Endless vibes nature can give
Enter in, forget your worries
Let it speak, hear the stories
