Sacredness

In the rhythm of our breath, in the quiet between thoughts, there is something precious—something sacred.

Too often, we rush through our days, our minds still in the past or reaching for the future, forgetting that life is unfolding right here, right now. This meditation invites us to return—to notice the miracle of each moment.

With each breath, it is a reminder that we are alive. A chance to pause, to fully be here wholeheartedly.

Now is the time to know, by Hafiz

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.

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.
