Dawnings

Don't escape

By Nicholas Hooper

Don’t escape from love, feel it, nurture it
Don’t escape from the past, remember it, learn from it
Don’t escape from the future, hope for it, share it
Then there is no prison but a landscape of the possibilities of love

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.”
