Dawnings
For all of us
By Nicholas Hooper
For all of us may kindness conquer rage
For all of us may generosity defeat greed
For all of us may healing be there for disease
For all of us may light fill our minds
For all of us may songs fill our hearts
For all of us may breath fill the great space
that we all inhabit somewhere in our souls

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.”
