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 they have a conection?
And from that moment of connection comes the spark...that changes both the candle and the match...so how would each feel about that spark?
The end of that connection even though it have just started?
I have an adventure image...it would be amazing if both, candle and match, are consious that they will start and end the spark so easly and many times.
I really do love that!
Would that i were the candle or the match....
Mmm...two important parts, two with potencial and two with the only way to make the spark come true.
Would they be a better e.g than water and fire of what soul mates mean?
interesting question. with water and fire.....one can nullify the other. with fire and a match, one enables the other.
can either one be a version of soul mate?
What if they are just physics and if life is just physics; it would be, at least, a way out to get into more closed doors...
if life is physics then i can be in more than one place at once.........i do like that....
The gift of laughing is amazing.
I like physics, I like your idea and do believe we can be in two places at once.
Mind is everything we really need.
if all we need is mind, then what happens with laughing?
can i laugh with my mind?
With it.....I don't know, but in it....well.....
if i climb inside my mind do i discover that i am dreaming?
Or mad, maybe......
if i climbed inside my mind, how would i get out?
Oh, oh, my...hmm...delicious.
What can I say at this point??
The only thing that comes to me is: would we want to get out from there?...Wouldn't it be too late?
too late?
or maybe too early?
Jajaja.....a wily question, a hard answer.
I wonder if there would be any perception of time.....
if there were no perception of time if you climbed inside your head, would you want to stay or to get out?
Doesn't the absence of time one of the things which drives us mad?
If so, I'd rather to stay...
it appears we can neither live nor die without Time.
Concreto y simple, como no lo es el tiempo.
because we are not in time just the illusion of time?
Why can something be an illusion and exist?
what is "exist"?
according to quantum physics, if i understand it, particles of this computer are in me and vice versa. is the image i have of the computer as separate and distinct from me reality or an illusion?
is reality a language that we agree upon and are socialized into speaking?
So everything, as in reality, agree with the universal way of catalogue the things and thoughts...harder the thoughts but it gets it at the end.
reality as a catalog...........i like it........
