"Give me a little ecstasy ...."

Give me a little ecstasy … It’s just the excitement of beauty, really.  It’s not to be forced.  It’s a process, not a goal.  Joy can be a goal, but ecstasy can’t.  It happens when you get to the point where everything is perfectly satisfactory, the way you wanted it to be, when you can’t get it any better, when you are just there, hit the nail on the head.

Joan Erikson
