The Goddess's Hands (A Navajo Story)

One Solstice two women, one an elder one young, went camping.
They rode horses as far as they could, then hiked up a steep mountain.
By the time they had pitched their tent, made supper and cleaned up they were pretty well bushed. The elder lady asked the younger to make sure the horses
were secure.
The next morning the horses were gone.
The elder lady said to the younger, "What happened to the horses, I thought you had tethered them?"
The younger lady said "I don't know, ask the
Goddess, because I was so tired last night I just prayed to the Goddess to take care of the horses, I don't know what happened I prayed three times."
The elder replied "It is good that you have faith, but to ask the Goddess to tether the horses you would have to offer her your hands because she has no others."
You are the Goddess's hands.
