Summer must pass through me

As deep the despair of winter, so high is the exuberance of the summer in this part of the world.  I flow with the summer taking in the heat, the light, the sounds and sights.

When the doors are thrown wide open
Letting in the light and air; 
When I step outside without a care
Or worry of what to wear

When I have soaked in many a dawns;
Gazed at cloudless blue skies
Reveled in the bright endless days

When I have smelt the wildflowers;
Seen the new snails, bunnies and herons;
Heard all the bird songs; 
Tasted all the tart berries

When I have suffered the stifling heat
Sweating through every pore; 
When I am tanned all over;
Bitten and bruised by insect bites
Then the summer has passed through me

Wave after wave of wildflowers

Song of Contentment..

Many a times I wake up with a fullness of heart. A heart that is overflowing; with contentment, gratitude and peace; for everything received and for everything revealed. Tears flow freely with an immense sense of gratitude to the divine providence which gives everything in the right measure. Kurai onrum illai is a song that expresses the sentiment of deep contentment and an abiding faith in the divine providence, eternally providing for all earthlings.

There is nothing I lack, O Lord
You remain invisible; 
my eyes cannot fathom your presence, 
even so I lack nothing, O Lord
You grant me everything I need, 
I seek nothing more my Lord
You remain hidden, 
your presence revealed only to the wise, 
even so I lack nothing
You forget none; in your breast
the mother,  the ocean of compassion who denies nothing
residing eternally; so how can I lack anything?
There is nothing I lack

kurai ondrum illai, marai moorthi kanna
kannukku theriyamal nirkindraai kanna
kannukku theriyamal nindraalum yenakku
kurai ondrum illai, marai moorthi kanna
vendiyathai thandhida venketesan yenrirukka
vendiyathu verillai marai moorthi kanna
manivanna malaiyappa govinda govinda
thirayin pin nirkinrai kanna
unnai marayodhum nyaaniyar mattume kaanbar
endralum kurai ondrum enakkillai kanna
yaadum marukkadha malayappa - un maarbil
yethum thara nirkum karunai kadal annai
endrum irundhida yedhu kurai enakku
ondrum kurai illai, marai moorthi kanna

There is nothing I lack, there is nothing more I seek.
