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?

Well, if I were a rainbow, wouldn't I know for sure if there were a pot of gold waiting on my one end or the other? Then again, maybe a rainbow doesn't know, and needs a leprechan to find it for him/her. That's a poser.
if I were a rainbow i wouldn´t care if it´s the pot of gold or the sunshine, that is my creator, i would simply smile down at others!!!!Only if I were a rainbow!!!
hey i am spell bound...you have such an inquisitive mind!!!
I hope so...
I am a sign to direct the people to that pot of gold ....isn't that great ??Then again ....where is the end of a rainbow ??So the rainbow knows it's end ??
well that is a huge question.....does the rainbow know its end?
Personally, i guess the rainbow ...does not ....but it doesn't matter because it is giving it's best to give the hope for people and it doesn't matter whether it know is there a pot of gold at the end ....then again, will the people or the rainbow feel being cheated??

what would a rainbow do with the gold?
That is it ....why do we need so much gold ??...then again without gold ...will we be able to survive ???
maybe for the rainbow, its colors are the gold.....
The gold in our life ....is the colours of experiences we have in this life .....then how do we let the colours of rainbow happen ?? Light disperse out of a prism ....Prism ....what does that mean to you ??
that is an interesting question. what is a prism?
is it that which is so transparent that it seems to have no substance yet when light travels through it, the prism enables colors to be seen?
Haha that is a good point shared...prism is in trianglar shape ....what does that shape means then ??
and if the prism were cut into a square, what would happen then?
