I think I have read in another post of yours the comment, "What does life at this moment demand of me?" It resonated with me but I don't think I fully appreciated the meaning until reading this post and the sentence, "Tim learns to bring peace to life’s moments rather than expecting life to bring peace to him"
I quite often read your articles then just happen to read another article around the same time that is of a similar theme or ties in with the meaning of yours.
The Peace That Passeth All Understanding
Happiness requires the Ten Thousand Things. It requires the discriminatory nature of the mind.
Thank you Prof Brownstein. It is some year since I read Frankl's incredible book. Always worth a re-read. This column reminded me of some of Jung's writings. And I think I remember reading somewhere that a woman once wrote to him (Jung) seeking advice asking what she should do with his life?, and his response was along the lines of "Just do the next thing".
I love Jung's advice. It reminds me of advice Dr. Thomas Hora (pagl.org) gave to a woman trying to spiritualize an issue she was having with a co-worker. Hora said, "Jane, you have a personnel problem, not a spiritual problem."

Peace requires nothing. It’s unchanging, eternal, ever-present.
All it takes is seeing what’s always there to be ‘the peace that passeth all understanding.’
Beautiful, Andrew.
Thank you for the evocative addition.
Thanks for unlocking this!
