Dear Human,

You’ve got it all wrong. 
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.
