Fiska fjärilar i regn

This proverb describes the attempt to pursue something delicate, fragile, or elusive in conditions that are completely inappropriate or counterproductive. Much like the absurdity of trying to catch butterflies—a task that requires patience and gentleness—while it’s raining heavily, the expression highlights the futility of trying to achieve a goal when the surrounding environment or circumstances are utterly unfavorable. It suggests that timing and conditions are crucial for success, and without the right setting, even the most well-intentioned efforts are doomed to fail or become frustratingly difficult.The saying directly translated basically means "Fishing for butterflies in the rain".-Ulf Skönberg och kamraterna podden

Context: Two friends, Tom and Lisa, are discussing Lisa's attempt to organize an outdoor event despite bad weather.

Tom: "How’s the event planning going?"

Lisa: sighs "Not great. I’ve been trying to set up this outdoor picnic for weeks, but the forecast keeps showing rain."

Tom: "Sounds like you’re fishing for butterflies in the rain."

Lisa: "I know, right? Every time I think things are coming together, the weather ruins it."

Tom: "Maybe it's time to consider an indoor backup plan. No point chasing butterflies in a storm."

Lisa: "Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just not going to happen the way I imagined."

Sammanhang: Två vänner, Tom och Lisa, diskuterar Lisas försök att organisera ett utomhusevenemang trots dåligt väder.

Tom: "Hur går evenemangsplaneringen?"

Lisa: suckar "Inte bra. Jag har försökt ordna den här utomhuspicknicken i flera veckor, men prognosen fortsätter att visa regn."

Tom: "Det låter som att "fiska fjärilar i regn."

Lisa: "Jag vet, eller hur? Varje gång jag tror att saker går ihop, förstör vädret det."

Tom: "Det kanske är dags att överväga en backupplan inomhus. Ingen idé att jaga fjärilar i en storm."

Lisa: "Ja, jag antar att du har rätt. Det kommer bara inte att bli som jag föreställt mig."

I

Words I try to find…
Things are clouding this mind…
Never my love for you…
As that I will always do…

Pictures I see…
A cat that really dislikes 👎…
And no the cat is not me…
Positive I try to always be…

Then you have the numbers…
They appear to be at a slight slumber…
That makes me sad…
And a little mad.

Many smiles they gave me…
And filled me with love and joy…
My words would flow…
As I let my love for you show…

Focus on the love for you…
And what is true…
I try to do…
But sometimes you know this mind…
It can go a little cuckoo…

You I don’t want to lose…
You are my one❤️❤️❤️❤️
You always have been…
You always will be!!!!

I love you!!!
