I have recently watched the movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age, which I found quite inspiring. It shows the power of overcoming great odds when Elizabeth bravely faces the supremely powerful Spanish Armada bearing down on England. Desperate, Elizabeth asks her spiritual guide (astrologer) if he foresees a positive result; the wise man says he can't tell her that things will be alright, but.. "But this much I know...
When the storm breaks,
Some are dumb with terror,
Some flee,
Some hide,
And some spread their wings like eagles and soar on the wind."
