the universe's way of letting light gossip about everything it touches
means Reflections are images thrown back by a surface like a mirror or water, or, by extension, careful thoughts turned over in the mind.
from From Latin 'reflectere,' to bend back, from 're-' (back) plus 'flectere' (to bend) — the same 'flectere' that bends into 'flexible' and 'deflect.' First it described light or heat literally bouncing off a surface; the meaning for inward thought came later, picturing the mind bending its gaze back upon itself.
