Q--------

If you ask my my favorite animal, I would have to say "glow-in-the-dark jellyfish" or "firefly." Light fascinates me!
So it's no surprise that I'm captivated by q--------s, the colorful stain glass half-circle-shaped windows in most homes here. It's an odd home that doesn't have at least one. They scatter multi-colored sunlight into the homes during the day, then reflect homelight out onto the streets at night, making the houses appear bejeweled.
The other evening Reba and I were leaving a visit to the Old City around dusk. (The Old City in itself is amazing. I felt like I was in the Middle Ages as we walked through one part--carpentry tools lying around one shop we passed, men in turbans lounging in the doorways, narrow brick alleyways . . .) The best part of seeing the houses in the evening was the light glittering through the q--------s. I wanted to stop and stare, thwarted by the moving people around me and the need to get home ourselves. Love, love, love! Talk about beautiful . . . and as far as we can tell, they are unique to this country.
Then I wonder, Am I a q---------s? Do I let the sunlight into my heart into my heart by day and share the light within by night? Is there beauty in my life, inside and out?
