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?

Would it mean, necesarily, that you have no breath?
or that i had forgotten how to breathe.........
Or just forget to breath and no the how to do it, perhaps.
yet, if i feel as if i am behind........the phrase in english is "running behind" then am i racing someone or something?
if i can't keep up........with what can i not keep up? and is it the fear of losing that takes away my breath?
It seems to me like the "why was I born" issue....
What would you rather to run behind?
What doesn't take my breath away, perhaps.
ah, yes, the fine art of breathing.
i might like to walk along and look at the countryside and just let other people run by me.
I love when things take my breath away.
yes........the enormous stillness within the expansiveness of it all...........
Y lo delicioso que eso suena sólo por haber esperado el momento adecuado para cambiar, persuadir, demostrar y correr lo más rápido posible mientras la expansión sigue pisando tus talones sin tener vida propia y armar la belleza más inesperada contra el viento.
It's good to sigh once in life.
without stepping on your own life...........that is so amazing........i love those words!
to sigh is to remind ourselves that we are alive..........i had not thought about that before.............
I don't remember where I heard this: "What's better to feel oneself alive than almost die?"
I think but not sure, it was while watching a movie.
yes. when we almost die, don't we experience the moment intensely, rather than looking away?
So many things we ignore.
How could be change that stupid act once and for all?
Mi alma grita y pide por conocimiento.
"our soul cries out for knowledge"......how ironic since our soul might be the aspect of us which already knows........
to ignore that which we could give us knowledge........to not see that which could give us vision.......
Do you really think our souls are our conection to the heaven divinity?
And if so, would that be a ramification of your words "our soul might be the aspect of us which already knows"?
And if fo, again, is it the knowledge as we perceive it?
Que palabras...
perhaps it is knowing that which we cannot know.
Or have...neither?
which would you prefer?
Complicated...
I guess I rather know knowledge, so I could try to find it.
and if you felt as if you knew something, what would you do then?
After driving me crazy, I guess I would take a look at the sky and wonder for the race which started this conversation and say for my deep inside: "now I know I don't know anything, the only thing I have left is to keep wondering, as going back to my very first begining".
wonder-ful...........
