Reflecting God's Love

This morning's reading from Mark Nepo's "The Book of Awakening" has me pondering about all sort of 'reflections.' Nepo writes that "the moon is not the source of light, but a reflection; and, likewise, as magnificent as the heart is, it is not the source of love, but the conveyer of forces often out is view when we are struggling."

mirrors
glass windows
my shadow
a pool of water
another person's eyes

Each 'reflects' back a different image of me. What do I see as I look at each reflection? Am I looking at the heart of God?
