The Holy Man circles the fire with the pipe
in his hands;
he approaches the young man and begins to tell
him
the responsibilities of carrying a pipe.
" You must always be thoughtful and be a
great help to others,
always be humble and behave with respect to all
creatures
great and small."
The Holy Man gestures the pipe forward four times
on the "Fourth Gesture" with the pipe
the young man
takes it in his hands, his life journey has now
began in earnest.Received Honorable Mention
