Contemplation helps us to become all that we are.
If we are open to it (openness is the very definition of prayer and meditation after all) the "seeds of wisdom" will take root and the "liberated, larger Self" will overwhelm our smaller self.*
I find that in silence, solitude, and prayerful reading little seeds of wisdom and inspiration are planted all of the time.
May we be open to receiving the "seeds of wisdom" and may they take root so that we become all that we are created to be.
