This is the time 
for you to deeply compute
the impossibility 
that there is anything 
but Grace.¹

— Hafiz

Expressions of Joy writings use present tense even when quoting ancient words.

This custom is a nod to the eternal Now, and a recognition that Truth is always true and Now is the only time. It further reminds us that:

Life, like Truth, is eternal.
