Oh! That tickles. The earth is holding my hand.

(now standing tall, arms out like leaves) I’m a flower! No… a sunflower! Look at me, Sun! I almost touch the sky.

(shakes head, stays curled) No, thank you. It’s cozy down here. Dark and quiet. What if I grow… and I’m too tall? What if I’m the wrong shape? childs.play.2

That’s all for today. Tomorrow, one more stretch. Scene 3: Growing Up (Each time they repeat the scene, Seed grows a little taller, standing up slowly.)

(peeks one eye open) A tree? That sounds heavy. I’m so small. (now standing tall, arms out like leaves) I’m a flower

See? Now try a leg. (Seed stretches a little more.)

You see because you grew.

I see wiggly worms! I see a ladybug with spots!

(hugs Seed with light) You always had the sky inside you. You just needed to stretch. I almost touch the sky

(gently) Wake up, little Seed. The rain has gone. The soil is soft. It’s time to grow!
