She looks up at night to catch a glimpse of the moon.

She is excited by eclipses and ethereal wonders.

She talks about fireflies and how she misses their playful dance at night.

She enjoys the soothing caress of the wind on her face, so much so that she takes it in with her eyes shut.

She is so drawn to all of life that her plants and pets battle for her attention.

She cares for all and has to be reminded to also care for herself.

She always finds an excuse to visit her roadside car wash for the random gists and colorful views.

She misses long strolls but is thankful for the privilege of car rides and music.

She shares the richest laughter and holds back tears until she is in her private corner.

She cooks, she cleans, she reads, she watches cat videos, she loves, oh, she loves.

In every gesture, every choice, every tender glance, she is Amama.
