Here is a human-only version of my story "[Pawprints](https://www.sofurry.com/view/1172798)," as indigenous people might have told it.

First Nations Footprints

 

 

One night a man had a dream.&nbsp;

 

He dreamed that he was walking along a trail with the Creator.&nbsp;

 

In the sky played scenes from his life.&nbsp;

 

For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints on the trail;&nbsp;

 

one belonged to him, the other to the Creator.

 

 

When the last scene from his life had faded, he looked back at the footprints on the trail.&nbsp;

 

He noticed that when the trail was the most challenging there was only one set.

 

 

He found this odd, and asked the Creator about it.&nbsp;

 

“My understanding has been that whenever my trail was difficult, you would walk it with me.&nbsp;

 

But I’ve seen only one set of footprints at the times the trail was hardest.&nbsp;

 

Where were you then?”

 

 

The Creator replied, “Beloved, I am with you always, and could not leave you if I tried.&nbsp;

 

When your trail was most challenging, and you saw one set of footprints, I was carrying you.”
