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 cannot you be in your own world?
late............
Oh...so you have an own world or is it the one you dream with?
that depends on if i dream with the wide awake world.
I haven't ever dreamed about the wide awake world.
Can fantasies be part of our reality?
Our dreams, our wishes, our mental essence and all the mad things we create on it......
or is reality part of our fantasies?
If it is, it'd take a big part of the credit but not the better one...
that is very humorous in a paradoxically non humorous way.
To be or not to be...was that the real question?
what is real........to be or not to be?
Hmm...reality, own worlds, minds...all of those words remind me of diferent kind of universes.
I hoper to give answer to the question "what is real".
I remember a Dumbledore's phrase (or Rowling, as you prefer): "...just because it is in your mind, it doesn't mean it is not real".
is real an illusion that two or more people agree upon?
Ja! What cannot we say it's real.
It seems, sometimes, that we make agreements for our intentions to be.
Now I'll be scared of my real illusions...
as long as we enjoy them.........and not make them concrete, then we have to defend them..........
Fight for a mind material.
I like it.
and if we stop fighting?
Does that mean our mind material can stay or we have to give up from it?
we won't know until we stop fighting..........
Would you stop fighting to know the answer?
i would stop resisting.
I would be with you.
cool..........
