Serenity album

Track 1 –Journey Within
We heed the call of adventure. We take one step forward. Along the way we find ourselves along a Journey Within.Its geography a labyrinth, its destination an endless horizon. And we arrive at the intersection beyond time and space, the precise point of awakening.
 
Instruments: crystal quartz singing bowls
 
Dininig natin ang tawag ng pakikipagsapalaran. Humakbang tayo pasulong. Sa daan natagpuan natin ang sarili sa Paglalakbay Paloob.Ang lupain na ito ay labirinto, ang hantungan ay walang hanggang dako. At dumarating tayo sa salubungang higit sa panahon at puwang, ang tumbok ng pagkapukaw.
 
Track 2–By the Water
Trickles, cascades, waves: Bythe Waterwe flow, for life is water and we are water.Dive into its depth, or sail on its breadth. As the ancient Chinese sage Lao Tzu once wrote: the greatest good is like water. This good –formless, transparent, nourishing –is the very womb of our being.
 
Instruments: crystal quartz singing bowls, ocean drum, water chime
 
Mga patak, lagaslas, alon: Sa Tubigtayo dumadaloy, sapagkat ang buhay ay tubig at tayo ay tubig. Sumisid sa lalim nito, o maglayag sa lawak nito. Minsang isinulatng sinaunang paham na Tsino na si Lao Tzu: ang dakilang kabutihan ay katulad ng tubig. Ang kabutihang ito –walang anyo, tagusan, nagbibigay-buhay –ang mismong sinapupunan ngating diwa.
 
Track 3–Heartspace
Breathing in the bamboo’s body becomes a song. This is thesong of the Heartspace, a place of no place where the eternal wind and our breath are one enchanted music. Here, the true rhythm is quiet and alive.Instruments: crystal quartz singing bowls, (Talaandig Tribe) bamboo fluteAng paghinga sa biyas ng kawayan ay nagiging awit. Ito ang awit ng Puwang ng Puso, isang lugar ng hindi lugar, kung saan ang walang-hanggang hangin at an gating hininga ay iisang himig na mahiwaga. Dito, ang tunay na pintig ay tahimik at buháy.
 
Track 4–Balance
Whispers and rumbles, sound and silence –in essence all things possess Balance. This cycle of life is a great dance of the opposites, from which peace emerges. We can move and we can pause. We can begin and we can end. Stillness and rhythm are both in our bodies, being born and reborn.Instruments: crystal quartz singing bowls, tingsha, C&G tuning forksMga bulong at dagundong, tunog at katahimikan –sa pinkaubid ang lahat ay nagtataglay ng Balanse.Itong pag-inog ng buhay ay dakilang sayaw ng magkasalungat, kung saan umaahon ang kapayapaan. Tayo ay gumagalaw at tayo ay tumitigil. Tayo ay nagsisimula at tayo ay nagtatapos. Ang kapanatagan at indayog ay nasa ating mga katawan, iniluluwal at isinisilang muli.
