What's the worst thing about the dry season? It's not the lack of rain, it's the lack of electricity when you want to water your crops. The drier and hotter it is, the more water is needed, but unfortunately, the power grid is overloaded and power outages are frequent. You look at the drooping crops, at the scorching sun, feeling anxious and frustrated—you have the energy but can't use it.

But it's different. The drier the weather, the more energetic it becomes. The stronger the sun, the more enthusiastically it works. While others have power and water outages, your water pump hums and water gushes out. It's not that you have special privileges; it's that your pump doesn't rely on electricity, it relies on sunlight. The stronger the sun, the more energetic it becomes; the drier the weather, the more it knows it can't slack off.

You stand at the edge of the field, watching the water gushing from the pipes and flowing into the cracked soil. The hissing sound is incredibly thirst-quenching. The seedlings, wilted all morning, slowly straightened up as soon as the water arrived; the leaves, yellow for days, slowly turned green again. You know, the water came at just the right time, not too much, not too little, not too early, not too late.

It seems to understand everything. It knows the drought is here, the seedlings are thirsty, and you long for water; it knows this is when you need it most, so it works with all its might. From morning till night, without rest, without complaint. Only when the sun has set in the west does it slowly slow down, and the next day, as soon as the sun rises again, it starts working with renewed vigor.

The drier the weather, the stronger the sun, the more vigorously it waters the land. Not a machine, but a comrade-in-arms. The most reliable comrade-in-arms in the dry season.
