Tovina pursued, “But in a storm, how can one
            keep reaching toward the light?”

“Storms, in themselves, are not happy things. They are allowed in order to strengthen your connection TO THE VINE in preparation for that almost overwhelming storm soon to break upon the vineyard. The stronger your connection, the more surely, throughout all storms, can you
            keep reaching toward the light.

“Tovina, do rainbows make you happy?”

“Oh, yes, I remember only one when I was too tiny to see it, but I do remember the quickening in the vineyard.”

“Before the rainbow must come the storm. If you will
            keep reaching toward the light
amidst the storm, you may see a rainbow.”

“What is a rainbow? Tell me about the Rain.”

“A rainbow glows when I, the Rain, mix with the sunlight in a special way. The rainbow is a gift from the Husbandman.

“The Rain? The Rain has many names. You have talked with me in the Stream, and in the Dewdrop of evening. In even more ways than these, I am everywhere. I am all around you when you cannot see me as you can now. I am near you in the air. In the winter I come as snow and would talk with you then if you would listen in the stillness. Yes, I am even inside you, bringing you the life of the Vine through your connection. Because I am everywhere, I have many more lessons for you. But for now,
            keep reaching toward the light.”
