It was a very interesting read from Ellen Rose about the value and definition of Reflection, a much more arduous endeavor than I have ever experienced before. I resonated with the definition of light being reflected back and was considering that to be effective the surface must be smoothed and worked over and refined and without contamination. Much like the mind must be polished and refined and devoid of distractions of the business of everyday life. I find that solitude and meditation can not control the many voices that vie for my attention and so reflection as identified by Rose is not a place I often go to.
