Penning Love

The Music Box is a group of interactive musical buildings on a vacant lot in New Orleans.

Musicians and ordinary people create music at The Music Box by using creaking boards, clanging metal, humming lights, and even an amped-up rocking chair. The result of these odd sounds is an unimaginable orchestra. 

Jazz musicians, rock drummers, and even rappers, come to contribute their sound to the beautiful noise.

I love the idea behind The Music Box because when people come together carrying stories, making music, and revealing bits of truth, love rings out.

I’ve gathered some friends.

And we are preparing to make a little music of our own. Oh, not the crank it up and dance around your living room kind of music, but the music that comes from passionate people pulling together.

What will we share? Love letters.

Mushy, gushy, make your heart race, love letters. Not the kind of love letters that come folded on lined paper and pass through sweaty hands before finally arriving on your secret crush’s desk.

Nope.

We penned letters to people in need of a extra love.

Who knows, some of our letters may even be written to you.

Questions for you: Do you know any of the fab faces pictured above? Can you think of a group of people in need of some extra encouragement?
