As I looked around on qarrtsiluni, one of the first things that caught my eye was http://qarrtsiluni.com/2011/12/05/grandfather-on-god-and-richmond/. I was so excited. I’m from Richmond, Virginia, the place described in this piece, so immediately, I read through it. This piece of writing brought so many images to my eyes. I have been to every place described in here, so I immediately thought of my home. Richmond is so beautiful, and this writer did such a fantastic job capturing its beauty.
The next thing I was drawn to was http://qarrtsiluni.com/2011/11/11/the-key-of-joy/. It originally stood out to me because it was sheet music, and I absolutely love music. I’ve been playing the piano for almost 14 years, so it is very important to me. This piece of music was absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to sit and listen to the music while reading it on the page. The woman singing had a gorgeous soprano voice that hits notes I can only dream of hitting.
I saw this beautiful photograph, http://qarrtsiluni.com/2011/10/24/qran-study/, and stared at it for a good five minutes. I am so intrigued by different religions. I grew up Catholic and went to Catholic school my whole life, and grew tired of it. I always wanted to learn more about different cultures and their beliefs. It’s such a lovely photo; the mood is so simple and serene. I love how he is so immersed in his religion and prayer, which is something I aspire to someday when I find what is right for me.
Sometimes, I find that writing is hard to catch my eye. I don’t really know why this certain piece stuck out, but it did. http://qarrtsiluni.com/2011/09/28/truth-about-margaret/. I particularly enjoy the last stanza, where the narrator discusses how old people can still see beauty. I absolutely love finding the beauty in odd or peculiar things. I believe beauty should have no standards and the way some people define beauty is too close-minded. Therefore, I adore how the old woman thinks someone, who usually isn’t considered beautiful, is beautiful.
Finally, after much searching, this picture (http://qarrtsiluni.com/2011/06/13/prisoner/) stuck out at me. It’s so poignant. When I look at the statue, I see despair and loneliness. As I read the comments, I love what one particular poster said, “’Waits and waits….’ with the ellipsis. The poet’s last words don’t end the poem; it’s kept open.” It gives almost a slight glimmer of hope for the figurine, which is the visual depiction of the poem.
