Dawnings
Nampla
By Nicholas Hooper
Mysterious, a drop from the bottle will change the flavour:
so subtle, so beautiful, the taste will delight and make you say,
‘yes, that is what my tongue wishes for.’
A drop of good wisdom could do the same for a day,
seeping in to the frame and structure of expectation
and make a tortuous journey pungent with wild flowers and unexpected grace.
Do not reject the small bottle.

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.”
