Kristian is the host of this Thursday for 50 Word Thursday.  Kristian alternates every other week for this fun prompt that’s so easy to do.  Kristian says:

• The Story must be between 50 and 250 words, in 50 word increments. (so 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 words)

• HAVE FUN!

So here is this weeks picture:

The holy man was having a bad day. All he wanted to do was sit under the shade tree in the cool, sipping jasmine mint iced tea, but a crowd had gathered, all clamoring for advice on their earthly problems. Having learned through his own travels and issues as he became wise, he understood that part of one’s obligation was to share wisdom with those who wanted and needed it.

One by one they approached, and one by one, he responded.

Finally, the last person stepped up, holding a mirror.

Pointing the mirror at the holy man, he said, “What do you see?”
