Dawnings
as one
By Nicholas Hooper
connected to all that is around
the duo mind must embrace itself
and find the way to be as one
holy, holy, holy, we say
sonically it sounds like whole
and so it could be as one
the lover and the loved
the child and the parent
are all in us as one
so take the pace inwards
and find that place of wholeness
and know your world both inside and outside
as one

About Dawnings:
“Every morning at around 5am I get up and go down to my studio. After a short meditation I write down whatever is in my head, giving myself fifteen minutes to do so. Then moving over to the piano (or a more portable instrument like my Ukulele when I'm away), I improvise and record a piece of music inspired by whatever words I just wrote. It is a great way of keeping both my writing and my composing going and I call these small creations Dawnings. They are mostly unedited, like sketches, so that they keep that fresh feeling of an early morning discovery.”
