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?

Wouldn't you be worrier about how to handdle the course of the wind if you were a boat's sail?
In the other hand, wouldn't the mast get the support's roll with regard to the sail's standing?
what becomes of a sail when the mast that holds in in place is no longer there? does it become a piece of cloth flying through the air?
Where could a mast go if it's not in the place of a sail's support?
And...how would you wear the sail as a piece of cloth flying through the air?
perhaps the pole would go to the bottom of the sea where it would hold continents above the water.
to wear a flying cloth, would i have to become the wind?
"Above the water" seems to me an amazing combination of words; it might be simple, but that could exactly mean the amazing touch I find in it.
I wonder how would it feels to be in the bottom of the sea?
Could it support such a thing?
Or you could just learn how to fly...
can i fly without the wind?
thank you for helping me revisit my own words....
if a person were at the bottom of the sea, would that individual think there was "above the water"?
Then you wouldn't be flying if it's not because of the wind.
Thank you for lettin me...
Above the water. I stayed in the question......
what would the person think the water was?
The new mirror in which to stand on??
Above the water seen throgh a glass base of life...
i like the mirror......a lot.....
I liked the "above the water"...
we are in balance then....
Could we really call it balance?
The few balance's theories I know, in science to be exactly, it's said that any element, thing, object, whatever cannot be in total balance.
A clear example is when boddies seem to be at the same temperature with their environment; there must be a difference because balance, in that case, would mean the boddies cannot "work" anymore...would mean death.
interesting...thanks.
i just meant that we liked different aspects of the image...the glass..the mirror. and so created a sort of balance. sometimes, it is thought that agreement is balance. maybe so. but being on either end of something can create a balance based on opposites.
I simply find great your words...
and i yours.
