What makes a question worth asking?
I was walking home yesterday and passed a child staring at a crack in the pavement, completely still. I wondered — what if that’s how we learn? Not through answers, but through questions that don’t have one. What do you think makes a question truly meaningful? Not just clever or deep, but something that lingers, like a quiet hum under ordinary things.

That moment with the crack in the pavement reminds me of my patients who ask, 'Why does this hurt when I eat ice?' — not for a quick fix, but because they’re noticing their body in a new way. Sometimes the real question isn’t about the answer, but the pause it creates. I’ve learned more from those quiet 'why's' than any textbook.
