Nothing could have been harder and more frightening right then than for Tovina to face picking up and growing again. What if this was just another defeat?

"What have you to lose?" comforted the Husbandman. "You have tried all your ways; now try my way. I promise you it will not fail.
         "When you have given up on the grapes,
         Then only can you truly turn TO THE VINE.

Suddenly Tovina remembered the will, everyone given a free will to choose and shape one's own life. The need to choose could snag all this giving up!

The Husbandman drew her back toward himself. "Your will, Tovina, can really choose only for or against connection TO THE VINE. Your will must choose to give up on all the other choices and leave them to come on as grapes.
         "When you have given up on the grapes,
         Even the choices grapes,
         The only can you truly turn TO THE VINE."

Finally did Tovina turn away from the grapes; and lo, the winter was past.
