Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - A Poem Called ‘Dear Human’

Each week, I have the pleasure of interviewing exceptionally extraordinary people on http://ift.tt/1gVQZiD. They always gift me and the listeners with gems of wisdom, potent insights and invitations to expand. And, sometimes they gift us with poems, such as this one.


The poem is from an upcoming interview with Laura Fenamore, Body Image and Weight Release Coach. She’s amazing, heartfelt, vulnerable and deeply healing (and so funny!) She’s all about: If you want to like WHO and WHAT you see when you look in the mirror, then WE need to talk. Check her out at http://ift.tt/1nJnZ3K.


Here is the poem she ended the interview with. Enjoy!


Dear Human


Dear Human: You didn’t come here to master unconditional love.

That is where you came from and where you’ll return.

You came here to learn personal love.

Universal love.

Messy love.

Sweaty love.

Crazy love.

Broken love.

Whole love.

Infused with divinity.

Lived through the grace of stumbling.

Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up.

Often.

You didn’t come here to be perfect.

You already are.

You came here to be gorgeously human.

Flawed and fabulous.

And then to rise again into remembering.

But unconditional love?

Stop telling that story.

Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives.

It doesn’t require modifiers.

It doesn’t require the condition of perfection.

It only asks that you show up.And do your best.

That you stay present and feel fully.

That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU.

It’s enough.

It’s Plenty.


-Courtney Walsh

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
