Training Wheels

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

Hafiz has an elegant way of expressing profound and simple truths. But that is the power of all great poets and mystics.
