The Light Needs No Translation

The screen glows, and a simple message from a colleague makes your stomach drop because the words feel like a locked door. You are standing outside, pretending to understand the language of a room you haven't entered yet.

But the sun is rising anyway, spilling light on the desk, on your hands, on the quiet panic that says you don't belong. That light does not require you to know the jargon to know who you are.

You were not made to perform competence; you were made to carry the light. And the light needs no translation.

It was there before the email arrived, and it is still there now, steady as the dawn. The confusion is just a shadow; the light is the thing that is real.
