It depends on context, but I'll just say 'Contemplation' is musing over something and 'Meditation' is observing 'the way it is'.

I don't believe in God, so can't say much there, but musings are 'just coming to you' in contemplation.

Meditation starts simple, like I'm present and aware and 'this' is what it's like. That's the miracle.
