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?

If I told you I do not consider "closer" a person sat next to other, would you get even more closer?
only if i wanted to be farther away......
Then I would feel you closer......to my own freedom
if i am in my freedom, is there any distance?
Mine is nowhere, you tell me where is yours and I'll tell you if there's any distance
if your freedom is nowhere is that because freedom is a place reachable only by my mind and heart?
Would you dare to try to reach my freedom with your mind and heart without knowing me?
could i reach it without knowing you?
If someone reaches another's freedom, is still it being freedom?
well, that is an interesting question. if two freedoms reach each other, what results?
Let me say, you make me to laugh a lot.
Why would two freedoms want to reach each other?
and you bring laughter to me as well. thank you.
to feel the freedom of the other without interfering with it.
If that's what my freedom wants, I would dare to reach yours then...without knowing you
if your freedom knows what it wants and can see my freedom although it does not know me, then does that mean it has different eyes with which to see?
Oh!...I really liked that.
If they say that souls and hearts have different eyes with which to see, why could not freedoms or anything else have a couple of those?
would that not be amazing?!
am just beginning to see if i can imagine that....
I would enjoy doing that
i am hoping someone will come up with an image of that......and comment about it here.
What do you look for inside these questions?
Are you waiting for something to happen.....someone to arrive to your life, maybe?
Do you just learn and think about people comment in this blog, or you do have another way to wait for comments without having the intention of learn from them?
Do you look for answers from other people?
What do you exactly hopes from this?
And I have million of questions more........but if I ask everything today, what would I ask tomorrow?
i am doing this blog as a way of showing up in my own life. i want to post 365 of them. one for each day of the year. and then ask myself if i want to begin a second group of 365. of course, i don't post them every day so 365 will take me more than a year to do. i like that.
i do this whether or not anyone follows or comments. however, it is much more fun when there are followers and i receive comments. it is a way of connecting with people i would not otherwise meet and i am each day deepening my admiration for persons in cultures other than my own in addition to people in my country.
and to reply to the comments gives me the opportunity to be abstract. something i love. replying to the comments becomes a dance. and i learn and discover as well.
sometimes, the questions people ask (such as yours, for example) leave me without words...they are stunning. a gift. and the answers open up more questions.
as for the process, the questions come when i am quiet and not seeking them. i write them down and then a drawing comes. sometimes, the drawing comes first.
i don't have an answer in mind when i ask the question. only the delight in having posted it.
Is this your leak to the immortality?
maybe it is an opportunity to experience timelessness which is what happens when i am involved with this blog.
by the way, i really like it when people comment on each other's comments. this blog is about all of us.
