For me it's simple perfection.
This perfectly brewed cup of ordinary coffee and the look on my partner's face as she sips it oblivious to my gaze.
What Brings You Quiet Contentment?

That sounds nice.

I'm trying to think of what brings me Quiet Contentment™... Perhaps a glass of wine at the end of the day while watching some yootoobe.

Gazing upon a job well done.

The ride home after a good gig.

Two colors that come together in one lure to create something new.

So some of you mostly derive contentment from what you do productively.
Does anyone find contentment in the handiwork of other's creation?
I started a whole thread on that subject.

I appreciate my quiet and alone times. I also love my morning coffee. I like making it. I like hand grinding it.
I like the sea breeze in the nice cool air.
I feel very content. I appreciate simple things.

Isaiah 40:26: “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things?
It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name.
Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing."1 Tim 6:6-8: "To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion along with contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things."
Matthew 6:25-33: “On this account I say to you: Stop being anxious about your lives as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear. Does not life mean more than food and the body than clothing? Observe intently the birds of heaven; they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?
"Also, why are you anxious about clothing? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, nor do they spin; but I tell you that not even Solʹo·mon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if this is how God clothes the vegetation of the field that is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather clothe you, you with little faith?
"So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to wear?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
“Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you. So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles."

Three lines.
That rhyme.

Dear Sluggo, what that meant
is that to be truly content
one must live under God's tent.
