		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you finally live
With veracity
And love.
Hafiz is a divine envoy
Whom the Beloved

a lucky fifth of you

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#8217;t coax the plant if I were you
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it&#8217;s dry before you water it.
The leaf&#8217;s inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too much prodding,
Too eager tenderness.

		<description><![CDATA[Do you recognize the timeless
One who is aware of all this?
If so please tell me 
Who and what you are 
When you are deeper than
within.
Clouds pass by.
Feelings pass by.
Thoughts pass by.
What in you does not pass by?
Do you see that One?
Can you say its Name?
