We make first contact with the unshakable character of our True Self when we stand on the unknown ground of an unwanted moment and see there is no need to fear or to fall into despair.

Our peace isn't stolen; we give it away each time we are drawn into trying to solve a problem that didn't exist until the mind made it appear.
