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?

Definitely the pen. The tool and the person behind the art, letter, etc. are always the most interesting. The finished product is just the end result.
so the person is also the instrument? if so, i wonder what would serve as the ink?
The creator in us always seeks to experience that which it has not yet experienced. But the creator IS the maker of each experience. While you would consider what being 'ink' is, in reality you are both ink and pen, since both come from your creator mind. Take a look at http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/thunder.html It's right up your alley! Love your theme!
is this about always wanting to be something your not?
is there one answer or many? will an answer discovered take you to another question and another point of view waiting to be seen?
as for this blog entry, where does being the ink take you? or the pen?
Can one be both? If not I'd rather be the pen which can control and contain what the ink can do or say.
yes, can one be both? as it is that the ink is contained by the pen, is the pen not contained by the hand writing with it? and if so, what of the hand?
