Then i think being a cloud could be nicer .....but guess i would rather be like a real eagle....does landing on the ground means that i couldn't soar again ??
i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"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?

great blog!
i'll follow you :D
seriously, you're incredible
You will soar like an eagle ...but first ....will you let go ??
ow will i soar like a cloud shaped like an eagle?
Do you only wish to be a cloud and not a real eagle ??
if i am a cloud, i can become the shape of the eagle and glide along as the eagle soars.
if i were an eagle, i could fly through the clouds and land on the ground.

as long as you remembered you had wings with which to fly and did not forget about the air currents when you reached the ground.
