My father laughed when I told him coffee isn’t about sugar — it’s about the bean.
He asked how I knew all that.
I said, I’m just curious.
That’s how I learned microphones in classical music pick up air —
the quiet between sounds.
The first time I heard it, I thought something was wrong with my Sennheiser 650s.
But it wasn’t noise. It was presence —
the air itself, recorded and alive.
He looked at me like he was meeting me again.
He didn’t know I write every day.
He didn’t know about the investments.
He didn’t know curiosity took me from roasting beans
to chasing sound through cobblestone towns in Estonia.
But that’s okay.
Curiosity doesn’t need applause.
It just keeps listening —
even to the air between the notes.
They laughed at first.
Then they looked surprised.
I guess I’m becoming different —
not better, just someone who follows through now.
