The dance of raindrops (Dutch rainy weather)

The dance of raindrops

In the heart of the storm, endless raindrops hit the calm surface of a vast puddle. Each drop is like a thought, a worry, a need — constant, harsh, and unforgiving. They blend into a sea of waves, merging until you can't tell them apart, just like how thoughts and feelings get tangled when overwhelmed.

Boundaries fade where one issue ends and another starts in this huge, chaotic mix - a reflection of an internal state of chaos. And then, as the boundaries become just an illusion, quickly erased by the relentless rain, everything feels too much.

But there, lost in the reflection of a world turned upside down, comes a moment of clarity that, like everything else, also confusion is fleeting. The storm will clear, the waves will smooth out, and the puddle will be peaceful again - a quiet moment — a chance to take a deep breath and start anew.

Dutch rainy weather

The flat and low-lying landscape in the Netherlands contributes to its frequent rainy weather. The image reflects a familiar scene: raindrops incessantly hitting a puddle, creating ripples that merge and blur the lines between land and water. This regular downpour results from the country's proximity to the North Sea, leading to a maritime climate with mild, wet conditions. After the rain, the water settles back into calmness, symbolizing the adaptability of the Dutch to their rain-soaked environment.
