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?

Love the phrase!!
If it's too late to know ....then why do you need to tell ??
and maybe there is nothing to tell?
May be is not to tell...but to share :)....and that is good ....better than knowing becos ....you receive :)
if it is too soon and too late, then is there time to share?
I dun know ....but timing to share depends on that of circumstances, personality and education ....etc...the best time for you may not be the best time for others ....well...well....guess we need discernment, alot alot :)
and sometimes, there is no time that is right.
and at that point, it is time to go on one's way.
Ya....guess i know what you mean....but hope that the ways all choose will lead to our final reunion again ....then again....if there is no such reunion ....how should we feel ??
perhaps it is part of our nature to wish for reunion. even while living with separation.
how would we feel if reunion were not possible? i guess it depends on the state of the union prior to its dissolution. however, i wonder we how we relate to the concept of impossibility.
haha...guess then we cried lonely tears...then again after crying and wiping off the tears ....we pick up the pieces, letting it go and continue to face whatever comes our ways ....this calls for a fighter's spirit ...is not a spirit of keep wanting to win,keep wanting to have, but know that certain times....is best to lose so you gain more ....:) if there is a impossibility, there wouldn't be a possibility....:)...will you accept that if it's too soon to tell, then is there a need to tell ?? Guess i had been making terrible mistakes ....but ya guess i am learning ....
the need to tell, what is that, anyway?
i like your description of a fighter's spirit....
