Reaching out to touch and pet the seal is what I feel shows how wisdom is reaching out to us if we can be vulnerable. Naked wwe cane into this world and to learn we have to be naked with ourself. Only in this way can we be like this picture, receiving the love of wisdom in all wisdom's naked sacredness. A very excellent picture of love that draws us to learn and love wisdom, as wisdom desires us to be loved.
