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?

What if I'm a absent-minded person?
then would forget to see me at all?
Let's say an absent-minded person, just do not notice some kind of things, one of them could be you, moving or staying.
so if a person is absent in mind, then i become for them, absent of body.....
so, i am not even standing still......for them.
hmmmmmmm.......maybe i'm off playing mind games with them.
Mind games...cool.
I see now, I expressed myself wrong. The term I was looking for was headless.
if i am headless, then have i lost my mind? and if that is so, then clearly, i would be too absent-minded to find it........
Oh God.........I just can't believe it.
I wouldn't like to lose my head, it would be weird and...horrible.
Mmm...so let's focus in the used terms as what I see and what you're really doing...which of thouse could be identied?
And what would happen if I see you moving but you say you're not?
that is a good question. if you say i am moving and i say i am not. maybe within me, i am feeling a stillness and am replying out of that. yet, i cannot help but move even when i am standing still.
Aaand..............you just read my mind or something...
yes.........or something.....
Would you call that "or something" a conection or a seemed thing?
I liked that answer, it also made me smile.
perhaps i overheard you reading your story to yourself in a whisper..........
So the wind really made my orders real: to send you a messege on him...
I like whispers, they can condemn by giving you images...
ok, this is weird.........i started to type something to you about the wind but changed it and then you wrote about the wind as if i had not erased the message.....
beautiful what you said about whispers.
Can I even get that "erased" messege?
Beautiful what you make me to say about what I've been saying all this time.
i simply enjoy listening to you.......
as for the other comment, i only typed a few words and then went on to the one i posted so i did not really complete the image and now have no idea what it was....it just kind of traveled through...........sorry.
Entonces ya somos dos...
at least dos.......
In an unexpected moment again.
I think it was pretty.
a moment of unexpectedness........
