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?

How did you get a car with an imaginary key? Wasn't also it an imaginary car?
how would you imagine that i got an imaginary key? that is an interesting in and of itself.
if i believe my key is imaginary and my car is real, is either true?
What does it make to not be true?
the belief in an illusion.
If there exists the concept of "illusion", does that mean illusion really exists?
does anything really exist?
Do you really...exist?
yes and no.
Can we be in separated dimensional planes and still be connected?
i do like your comment.
but then, of course, i will ask you.....what would it be to be disconnected?
Haven't found your blog?.....creo
well, there's that.....
Thanks God I did it and thank you to make me think about so many things.
and thank you as well. for your words cause me to glimpse other worlds...
I used to leave this world twise a day; I used to breath fast without estimating it; I used to fly away in dreams and used to enjoy poems I used to write.
Then something got me crazy, took me far away, made me lose my breath and break my heart so easy; this something made me also to feel for real, to live more than before and to cherry the confidence I never used to give.
I was walking on my thoughts, waiting this something to get away of my head after it caused me so much untouchable pain; I got advised of danger, but I couldn't resist the tentation; I was tired of walking so long for the same way and then I just decided to change.
It was hard just to let this big thing go, but while I was realizing I couldn't just fall down, I found your blog and made me to reinforce this last thought.
Thank you.
i am glad that you are finding your way.
i really like what jana said on yesterday's blog entry:
"To get the answer you have to fall many times i guess, so that you stop worrying about the pain or how to get up etc. and start to let the fall happen and just observe it as it is.. ? "
is there an art to falling?
If to learn is an art and you learn by falling, wouldn't that be a yes for your answer?
if i believed that "yes" answers anything
That's so...........delicious
dessert for the soul?
Oh you just definitively make laugh so much
great!
