„Life isn´t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”
Silently I look into the grey mass. Where the sun was shining a moment ago, heavy grey clouds are now spreading across the sky. A light breeze blows, runs through my hair, lets it play around my chin. The hem of my summer dress splices around my ankles. A shy smile forms on my face as I feel the first raindrops. Gently they land on my nose, making their way further down until they finally touch the ground. At first slowly and then faster and faster I feel rain dripping onto my skin. Slowly I spread my arms, feel the cool rain on my skin. As if by magic my feet start to dance. The rhythm of my movements adapts to the beat of the regularly falling raindrops. My laughter breaks the silence. A flood of happiness runs through my body, carries away all the negative, the sadness, all the stress. I forget everything else around me, free of any ballast I go round and round in circles, over and over again. My outstretched arms break through the veil of rain, my feet dance over the wet asphalt and for a short moment it feels like I can fly. Freedom.
Then, suddenly, the sun shines through the clouds again. Like a spotlight on a big stage she illuminates the small piece of earth I´m standing on. She shines through the still falling raindrops, making them appear like small diamonds. After some time, I look up. The bright colours of a rainbow break through the heavy grey and a deep peace spreads within me. No matter how heavy the rain is, in the end the colours of the rainbow will appear and you´ll know that it was worth waiting.
