Itself An Ecstacy

"Once you realise that the road is the goal, and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task, and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy..."
~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Image ~ The Pietà is a work of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. The Pietà was sneered at by some church observers because they said the artist made Mary too beautiful to have a son who was 33 years old. Michelangelo told his biographer, Ascanio Condivi that 'chaste women stay fresh. How much more the Virgin, who had never experienced lascivious desire?'
