Once you realize 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 wisdom,
life ceases to be a task
and becomes natural and simple.
In itself, an ecstasy.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
I don’t always remember that I am on the road. I have to remind myself; it’s a relief when I do.
Beauty is never far but wisdom often eludes. Usually, it is right in front of me but I am too busy struggling.
I want parameters so I anticipate them, like a conjurer. If I just keep walking, I’ll find my natural rhythm. It has its own structure. I’ll meet my options as they become available.
Ultimately, I make my choice and the road responds accordingly. I do not get to know what is round the bend.
Mine is to trust the ecstasy.
Aim for Even posts offer equanimity a dose at a time. No day or dose is ever the same, even if the aim is. You may read about the origins of Aim for Even here or on this site’s About page.
Aim For Even: The Daily Dose 
I so relate to this. When there are things to do, like getting the house clean, I always want them to be “done”, and I wind up constantly reminding myself it’s a process. Unless I put my life in some science fiction stasis, the house will get messy, the yard will need tending, and so on.
