One night a witch dreamed she was walking along the beach with her Goddess. Many scenes from her life flashed across the sky.

In each scene she noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,other times there were one set.

This bothered her because she noticed that during the low periods of her life, when she was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat, she could see only one set of footprints.

So she said to the Goddess, "You promised me, M'Lady, That if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?"

The Goddess replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints are the times when I carried you."
