I wonder if all reflection is self-reflection. One may think that they are reflecting on a particular phenomenon. One may think they are reflecting on another person's life, or on some abstract concept. But in fact, the experience is always filtered, even interpreted, by the self. In this way, reflection is also a matter of expression. It is a form of self-reflection. Reflection even on the purely external is an internal manifestation. As time passes, I'm discovering that I leave traces of my soul signature in all that I do. Thinking about others, reveals much about me.
