Said the stream in passing,
"It is the inside things which count
And make you what you are."
"No! No!" cried Tovina, "do not make my darkness blacker. I have sought so long for that inside ruler and have found only darkness."
"I know, Tovina, and I am sorry for you. But those inside rulers you tried are really only grapes. Love is grapes. Thoughts are grapes. Even the understanding of principle and reason is grapes, and so should be what others see of the inside of you, influence grapes.
"Of course, one of those grapes soured will sour others. But no matter which grape affects the others, it is still a grape and sweetened only by connection TO THE VINE. Of yourself, you have no inside ruler. Yet,
It is the inside things which count.
That is, the life of the Vine inside you, flowing all through you. Only through your connection TO THE VINE can that life flow as it must."
