This is just to share a prayer song and a rendetion of it by my student Zeta and my daughter Gayle… The song is entitled “Mga Anak ng Hangin” (Children of the Wind) composed by Ma. Angelica Dayao, a brilliant multi-talented musician, teacher, and composer, who also gathered the scattered individual student-musicians in campus and came up with a beautiful string orchestra at UPLB. The academe has been enlivened by their performances. This is fresh news and welcome development in the academe which is predominantly left-brained. Translation later.

Mga Anak ng Hangin – Acapella cover by Zeta Derikka Sanchez

The lyrics are as follows:

Mga Anak ng Hangin

Naririnig mo ba kami aming Bathala?
Sa mga hampas ng alon sa lambat
Sa taghoy ng araro at ng kalan
Sa mga siwang ng bubong at dingding
KODA
Laganap ang lason sa daigdig
Naghihingalo ang ating panaginip
Ang sambayanan ay naghihirap
Walang awit ang mga pangarap
KORO
Kami ang mga anak ng hangin
Tagapagdala ng mga hinaing
Ng sangkatauhang ngayo’y humihiling
Na ang kanilang dasal ay dinggin
Sa bitak na lupa ng tagtuyot
 Sa dagundong ng baha at ng bulkan
Sa mga pasmadong katig at layag
Ng mga bangkang nilamon ng laot
Ulitin ang koda, at koro (2x)

 

I find this prayer, rendered in a song, to create a wonderful atmosphere in my talks about quantum agriculture. Other prayers and mode of presentation should do… what is important is to have that intention to be grateful and acknowledge the forces of nature that help create the openness and learning atmosphere. The science of prayer, sound, and intention in creating a favorable environment and response from the living things has been presented earlier.
