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 tell you I've had a conection-dream with you and I'm sure it was because you made something, would you tell me you overslept?
and when i awoke after making something during your dream, would i be able to recreate it in the day to day world?
Are there imposible things?
here's a thought......perhaps in my world, the possible things are impossible. and the impossible possible.
Then is not everything possible?...in your world
would it not be impossible to be otherwise?
but having said that......who knows.....maybe it is possible just because of the impossibility of it all!
Fifty-fifty...like that.
the middle....where all things are possible.
or not.
Tal vez...who knows?
perhaps the one who doesn't know.....
Mmm...it tastes good.
that about says it all.....
No, i will asked is it that you are too tired last night ??then again, will dreaming make you overslept ??What if is a nightmare, and you wake up in the middle of the night ??
so somehow we seek to remain in a dream but awaken early from a nightmare?
yes, i would ask because maybe your dream would be interesting, if it was, i would be happy to hear it.
I would ask you if the dream was worth oversleeping
and if i said "yes" and that i had brought part of it back with me...to dance with the dream while being awake?
If you said "no", you could even bring more than a part with you; but what happens to the rest that stayed at "home" when you said "yes"?
Wouldn't bring parts of something from the nothing be an issue because of the balance of everything? Or could it be part of this nothig and make balance here without concerning there?
If you could dance with that part being the answer "yes", could you realize the consequences of bringing it or would you think you are not awake and melt that dream like if it where a new light?
if i bring the dream back with me, i am wondering if i am bringing back a memory. if everything i bring with me, waking or sleeping, is a memory.
anyway, let's say i bring back the memory of a dream and dance with it. when i sleep, do i take the memory of my day to day life into the dream world and dance another dance there?
also, as i think you said, there is a quality of "nothing" that is part of the dream world and the waking one and in that nothing, i am wondering if all there is to do is dance?
as for the balance of things. i am not sure. is there an imbalance within balance?
