Spider Building a Web At Sunset on the Sleeping Porch

In the tantric yoga philosophy, two key concepts are that of prakasha and vimarsha–light and reflection.  Prakasha is the fullness of the light of consciousness itself; vimarsha, the reflection of the light that is our own individual recognition of the light of consciousness in ourselves.  The sweetly mysterious joy we get in seeing reflections in a puddle is the reminder we are given of the pulsing dance between the light and the reflection of the light, neither of which we can know without the other.
