Gelebte Weisheit

Where does wisdom lie, and how do I get there? On the wrong path, if one follows such questions! Mario Mantese illustrates in vividly clear images how close what we seek externally really is. Before our eyes unfolds the interplay of the elements, the eternal cycle of the seasons. Those who immerse themselves in this find peace within and feel secure in the embrace of Mother Earth. "The wise one is deeply aware that what is far away rests close by," writes the author, contemplating the subtle interplay of the forces of life, of which we are as permeated as the world we live in. And: "The wise one is someone who treats all living beings with mindfulness, care, love, and respect. Restraint and humility characterize the wise; in their presence, no noise is made in the silence.".
