We might say that contemplation is an act of silent attentiveness through which we immerse ourselves in reality, whereas the outward agitation of our souls keeps us on the surface of things. For reality is God's fullness, a fullness in which all things exist and suffice to themselves within Him, a fullness which is the life of the Trinity. By this I mean that the Father communicates Himself totally to the Son, giving Him the totality of what He possesses, thus exhausting in the Son the possibility of loving.
