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?

they will if I'm listening to my own thoughts, which I probably am...
I love your blog, it's great to always question.
and when you are listening to your own thoughts, do you hear words, melodies.....what do you hear?
it takes two to communicate, even with yourself
If i am deaf it will....if it really fall soundlessly on my ears ....and i did not react, what will you do ??Shout again , be very angry or just give up ??

do i shout so that i can hear myself when i feel your ears do not hear me?
No commonly people shout becos they want to catch the attention of another ....
and when i am shouting, how do i sound to myself.
