Be as fresh as consciousness


Laura Zalenga



What you are is magnificent;
what we believe we are is so limited.
We don’t need to carry on this personal story.
It is not contributing to the beauty and freedom of your life.
Don’t be enslaved by the conditioned or indoctrinated mind.
It wants you to make anniversaries out of your pain—forget about it.
You don’t have to be so loyal, so faithful
to any tendency that causes suffering.

Often we ruminate over the past, not in order to be free,
but to strengthen the sense of ‘me’.

We say we can’t change the past, but yes you can!
Did you perceive it right in the first place?
Who is to say your perception is a fact?

It would be a futile and unending task
to search for the innumerable strands that have contributed
to the person you take yourself to be; mostly they are untraceable.
Better just drop the whole thing
and thus remain empty of conceptual debris.
Be fresh every moment.
Be as fresh as consciousness—history-less and happy.


~ Mooji
