The great Chinese Tao Te Ching also sees wisdom as a connection to our ability to be in the present moment:
“The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and welcomes all things.”
In this sense, it was obvious to photograph Reiner Weise, who not only carries wisdom in his name (German: Weise = Wise in English), but also an openness to life, humility and great compassion, in his garden Eden.
