celebrating the art of paradox

delving into the wisdom of absurdity in whimsical way
this blog is about paradox.
through my questions, i hope to encounter the paradox within belief, that place where there is not one answer but many contradictory ones.
each question, each drawing is an invitation to join me in allowing what appears absurd to take us to a wisdom beyond linear thinking.
as long as we question, we are free. free to see, to feel and to express who we are. and to connect collaboratively with one another.

"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

Woo! A funny one!
This one is very...confusing. I wouldn't dare to choose any of those. Some people say that one's lyrics or way of writting defines the own personality. But I wouldn't say letters because it doesn't consist me.
can we ever say who we are?
I still cannot answer that burning question. Perhaps, someone else could already do it.
However, I wonder about the "ever".....can we answer it to ourselves some day?
is it not more interesting to be the question?
Que nota, we would be a crux then...hard, but with answer.
which would you rather be, the question or the answer?
I like better questions, but not doubts. I become obsessed for getting answers...I think I'm not sure.
Understandable, I guess.
what would you say doubts are? i am not sure they are questions. and not to have an answer is not necessarily to doubt.
I wasn't clear. I didn't mean doubts are questions. Questions leaves doubts, that's anoying for me, and doubts almost never have answers, they better have choices.
i question doubts......
Like that conclusion.
thanks for the collaboration.
Any time you want, and thank you.
