Amma loved going to the beach. She liked to sit and watch the waves, the boats and the people. After one such visit on a full moon day, she wrote the following:
Today is a full moon day
We went to the beach
We saw the sand and the sky
We saw the ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see
We saw the clouds and the planes high up in the sky
We saw everything, and everybody
We did not see the moon, though (on this full moon day)
Today, February 9, it has been two years since Amma left behind her family and this world, and departed forever into the heavens. She was our sun, our moon, our shining star, and not a day goes by without her permeating my thoughts, the way I think and even the way I act. She will forever be the missing moon on my full moon days.
