We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed!

INSTRUCTIONS
If using dried beans, place the beans in a large bowl and add enough water
to cover by 2 inches. Place the bowl in a cool place and let the beans
soak for 6 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse the beans.
Put the beans into a large pot and add enough fresh water to cover the
beans by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, reduce the heat,
cover, and simmer until the beans are barely tender. 1-1/2 to 2 hours
(depending on the age of the beans). Thoroughly drain the beans and let
them cool.
Put the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne in a small jar.
Cover with the lid and shake until the ingredients are well mixed.
In a salad bowl, combine the cooked or canned beans, corn, avocado, bell
pepper, tomatoes, green onions, chile pepper, and cilantro. Shake the Lime
Dressing and pour it over the salad. Stir until well coated. (The salad can
be prepared a few hours ahead, but don't add the avocado until serving
time. Refrigerate, and adjust the seasonings before serving.)
