Note: This is my version of the classic Christian poem Footprints in the Sand, based on my own experiences.
We embarked on this journey together
Yet when we went through the desert
i walked separate from my Higher Self
Higher Self always offered to help
But i was stubborn
i thought i knew best
i thought i saw it all
When i could only see the next sand dune
My Higher Self could see the whole world
But i was too proud to ask for help
It wasn’t until i was lost and exhausted
Too tired to go on wandering aimlessly
That i finally said, “I accept your help. I surrender to your vision.”
At this moment, my Higher Self lifted me up
And we merged together
Two sets of footprints in the sand
Became one set of footprints in the sand
i became I
No longer separate
Whole
I guided myself to the ocean
Where I jumped in and cleansed my being
Reborn
I learned to play
I learned to love
And I continue my journey
With complete trust
Light-footed
Light-hearted
And at One
