Reporting has a way of humbling you. It gave me a reason to ask questions most people never get the chance to ask, and I've found those conversations are almost always more interesting than the assumptions we begin with.

I learned if you sit with a story long enough, it stops being about the thing it appears to be about. A veteran restoring a helicopter 50 years later isn't a story about aircraft. It's about what the body remembers when the mind can't say it out loud. A zoning plan isn't really about acreage. It's about how a community confronts change.
