Storytellers had a guest craft presenter. Our friend has provided Bamboo boxes that can be decorated and inspirational tokens to go inside in the boxes.
Writing prompts: Write about a song and a feeling it invoked in you.
Think about your more distant ancestors and write a story based on what you imagine.
Bamboo Box
This song means a lot to me because I sang it on my mom’s wedding day. I knew I wanted to do something special and meaningful. It took me a while to find the song but once I did, I rehearsed it for 2 1/2 days and once I heard the vows that were said I knew I chose the perfect song. (N.D.)
Sanctuary
Sanctuary is a song written by Sarah Siskind, Jill Andrews and Gary Nicholson
Turn the light off
Go to bed
Tell me all about the day you had
Lay beside me
It’s time to rest
You can close your eyes, you’ve done your best
Let me be your sanctuary
Let me be your safe place to fall
I can take away your worries
The refuge from it all
All this time
We have together
Is our shelter from the rain
I will share the weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
We have weathered
Through the storms
Taking comfort in each other’s arms
When the dark clouds come again
I will lift you up and take you in
Let me be your sanctuary
Let me be your safe place to fall
I can take away your worries
The refuge from it all
All this time
That we have together
Is our shelter from the rain
I will share the weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
I will share this weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
