gleamings
Soft reflected lights
Gleamings are things gathered or collected, especially in small amounts from scattered sources.
The word comes from gleaning—originally picking up leftover grain after a harvest.
Gleamings suggests bits of light, insight, or information assembled gradually: gleamings from old letters and diaries, the gleamings of a lifetime's reading.
