I was going to write on how when I  may get pulled by the world’s duality and get negative, I remind myself that life is sacred and my focus shifts, gets higher. However, I found this poem which speaks beautifully to me about life’s sacredness and I hope it does  for you as well.

Now is the Time

Now is the time to know

That all that 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 a child’s training wheels

To be laid aside

When you finally live

With veracity

And love.

Hafiz 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 in 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 compute the impossibility

That there is anything

But Grace.

Now is the season to know

That everything you do

Is sacred.

(“The Gift” – versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsy
