Now a year and a half later, we are continuing to face the pressures, fears and anxieties of a global pandemic. Despite reopening stores and lifting restrictions, COVID-19 and new, scary strains continue to wreak havoc globally. As we move into the summer of 2021, A Score for New Growth provides the framework for thinking about, celebrating and examining the life lessons, and the truths of social change, that can be cultivated in our gardens.
This score examines internal growth along the arc of seeding, germination, sprouting and thinning.
A Score for New Growth
Over 13 days, the score asks for the Grower to meditate on the movement of seeds as they align with spiritual and collective movement. In a series of days of seeding, gardening and breathing, the Grower asks:
Day 1 “Is there sustenance for new growth?”
Day 2 “Is there new growth in stasis?”
Day 3 “Is there new growth in darkness?”
Day 4 “Is there new growth without yield?”
Day 5 “If the seed never germinates, is there still new growth?”
Day 6 “If change is undetectable, can there be new growth?”
Day 7 “Could I too break open and grow roots?”
Day 8 “Is this new growth inherited? Taken? Restored?”
Day 9 “Is this new growth cultivating care?”
Day 10 “Do I pursue new growth for myself or others?
Day 11 “Can I touch the wonder of new growth?”
Day 12 “How will I share the abundance of new growth?”
Day 13 “What can we gather from new growth?”
