The following was a vision given to Creesong by her guide "The Old One" to share with us. 
 
 
How to Weather a Storm
 

The Old One has just spoken to me... He has given me a message and

asked that I share it with all of you:

He sits here and says that many here tonight are like the great oak they 

stand strong against the rain and the wind they don't bow and they dont 

bend.  And in doing this they loose many branches.  

He said the great oak's sister, the willow, stands humbly with her head 

bowed.  When the winds and the rains come she bows her head and 

sways with the force.  When the storm passes there is the great oak and 

there is the humble willow.  The willow once again raises her head, but 

the oak is broken and bent. 

The Old One says it is better to go with the storm than stand against it.  

Then you become a part and that which is not a part can be broken.  

That which is a part shall stand.... He says to learn to be humble as the 

willow ........bend with the storm but do not break and again you will 

raise your head when all is past.             

He has finished speaking.
