I dreamed that I was walking down the beach with the Goddess. And I
looked back and saw footprints in the sand.
But sometimes there were two pairs of footprints, and sometimes there
was only one. And the times when there was only one pair of footprints,
those were my times of greatest trouble.
So I asked the Goddess, "Why, in my greatest need, did you abandon
me?"
She replied, "I never left you. Those were the times when we both
hopped on one foot." And lo, I was really embarassed for
bothering Her with such a stupid question.
