1. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
"the reflection of light"
an amount of light, heat, or sound that is reflected by a body or surface.
"the reflections from the streetlights gave us just enough light"
an image seen in a mirror or shiny surface.
"Marianne surveyed her reflection in the mirror"
something that is a consequence of or arises from something else.
"a healthy skin is a reflection of good health in general"
a thing bringing discredit to someone or something.
"it was a sad reflection on society that because of his affliction he was picked on"
2. serious thought or consideration
"he doesn't get much time for reflection"

3. MATHEMATICS
the conceptual operation of inverting a system or event with respect to a plane, each element being transferred perpendicularly through the plane to a point the same distance the other side of it.
In terms of art, I could see the reflection of light coming through the trees, bouncing off of objects, mirroring images within shiny surfaces and highlighting the subtle colors of early spring in the greens and browns of nature.
In terms of the experience of walking through the woods, I reflected on life and my surroundings during these days of isolation. There is much to reflect on. This particular day, watching Luke happily play and explore, I found some moments of peace and joy as we observed the forest and creek. I thought of the people in my town who might also be out enjoying these very same woods and I wished for them the same comforts I was finding within the beauty of God's creation.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” (Psalm 19:1-4)
