This was the very first song of Enations I ever heard, on a fateful night nearly two years ago. It left me in awe of several things. First of all, on the first hearing, the refrain, Youre so young, and you already need so much healing, was so powerful to me that it physically felt like Jonathan reached through my headphones and touched my shoulder. I had experienced that one time before: a day or two after my dad died, when I heard the clarinet come in in a piece we had performed together just a couple of weeks before. At no other moment in my life had I been touched so deeply by a piece of music. That line also created such a beautiful and clear picture for me of the little one inside me that does need so much healing; I really started this work that night. Second, as I listened to it several times, I was in awe of the truth with which he was telling my story. And so many varied pieces of it. It took my breath away as I heard it laid out in this beautiful song. By a man, yet. Im healing some pretty deep wounds about men (well, straight men in particular), and I had no idea it was possible for a man to even think such things, much less write and sing them for public consumption. So much of my healing has come from simply discovering that loving men like this one exist in the world. And lastly, the boy had to be under 25 when he wrote this, and grew up in Hollywood on TV! Where on earth did this wisdom and love come from in such a young man?! I really was floored. And I continue to be, as both he and his brother Richard have gotten to know me and have been so genuine and kind these past two years. Its amazing looking back on the night I first heard this, and where I am now. Her heart is like a letter thats never been read. That was so true for me, and now these beautiful expressions of it just spill forth all the time. I could not have fathomed that first night the kind of changes that would take place in my mind and heart, the life-changing souls who would cross my path, or the kind of music Id be getting to make all the time with such incredible musicians. I have absolutely done a lot of work and created the space for all this to happen, but I owe so much to the fact that these boys walk in this world consciously spreading love and light. So yeah; thats why Im such a fan. :)
