Now is the time

Hafez (1326–1390) always has something to say worth hearing in any language or century.

Now is the time to know

that all you do

is sacred.

Now,

why not consider

a lasting truce 

with yourself and God.

Now is the time 
to understand
that all your ideas of right and wrong
were just child's training wheels
to be laid aside 

When you can 
finally live

with veracity

and love.

Hafez is a divine envoy

whom the Beloved has
written

a holy message 
upon—

My dear, 
please tell me,

why 
do you still throw sticks
at your heart 
and God?

What is it within 
that sweet voice inside

that incites 
you to fear?

Now is the time 

for the world to know

that every thought 
and action 

is sacred.

This is the time 
for you
to deeply comprehend 

this sheer impossibility

that there is anything

but Grace.

Now 
is the season to know

that everything 
you do 
is 
sacred.
