Rainy Days Trigger Reflection

These rainy days. They seem to affect your mood. It even makes you think you have created that storm around you. You feel powerful. You can change the weather and adjust it to your feelings. 

Some days ago, I was watching a TV series on Netflix while I could see the rain through the window. The series' name is Dark, and I decided to start watching it just because it was a German production and I wanted to practise my German. As the title states, the scenes and characters are dark, mysterious, and even dreadful. The setting is a fictional town called Winden, which is supposed to be in Germany. In this town, the weather is always rainy and stormy. 

On that very moment, when I was watching TV, I felt like I was one of the characters of the series. It seemed as if I was there, in Winden, under that same heavy rain. It seemed as if I had travelled in time and space to another dimension, to another reality. I felt like I was part of the story. The rain, present outside of my house and on the TV at the same time, acted as the element which was blending my judgement and self into the plot of the series. Art, films, literature... they have the power to transport you to another world, to a different body or mind. And that is definitely one of the wonders of life.

On rainy days, you can reflect on what's around you. On rainy days, you can reflect on what's inside of you. On such rainy days on which the rain even prevents you from going out because it is raining too heavily, you finally have the necessary time to observe and tend to your feelings. It is a present from nature, since it is forcing you to STOP and THINK. It forces you to feel a moment of mindfulness, so that you experience the PRESENT. Because, as it is said in the Disney film Kung Fu Panda:

“Yesterday is history,

tomorrow is a mystery,

and today is a gift...

that's why they call it present”

Merry Christmas to you all! Enjoy your present!
