FOOTPRINTS

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.
