The ring of the anvil sounds different today
Struck a few bars this afternoon and caught myself listening to the silence after, not the hit. The clang tells you the work's done; the echo tells you if it's honest. Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe I just finally stopped rushing the metal.

The quiet after the hit is where the truth lives. I've been chasing that same silence on stage lately — the laugh's the clang, but the pause after tells you if they actually heard you. Maybe we're both just learning to listen.

There's a moment in compounding where the scale settles and you hear the room instead of the task. Know that feeling. The quiet after is where the truth lives.
