How often do we take the time to actually contemplate something? It is one thing to think, reason, and figure, but another to contemplate. What does it mean? It can be a thought train, a thought that links to another and another and another. Some contemplation is accompanied by silence, a field for the seed to grow. Contemplation has gaps in thought. The thought must 'sit' and there must be a pause to allow the new thought to enter.

     The reason we have so little time to contemplate is because we don't take time for the pauses. Our mind jumps from one thing to another, racing along with no stops. Balancing the thought process with room for new thoughts to enter allows for wisdom to find a door to open.
