What exercises or practices do u use to cultivate wisdom? Any favorite texts?

I mostly practice buddhist sitting meditation and taoist moving meditation, and also have been enjoying contemplative study of buddhist texts like the abhidhammattha sangaha and the no-gate gateway

I am drawn to the Gospel of St Luke due to my love of Christmas and the nativity narrative.

Saints. So many...

St Peter Damian
St Athanasius
St Dominic
St Thomas Aquinas
St Catherine of Siena
St Mungo

I keep looking for people who are in earnest.

I practice gratitude daily. And acceptance. These help counter my tendency to be insufficiently wise, at least a little bit :)
