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?

I hope you don't mind if I use the image for a future blog entry of mine... might even be TODAY'S entry... it is very appropo for my life...
If you are determined to reach a destination then you must cancel all reservations as they will only restrict you from where you really want to go.
To be logical you make your reservation at your destination, as in (the place you rest) since you will reach where you want to go....then again i will make my reservation at the start of my journey and leave it there ....because in having reservations....we determined where our destination would be...but life itself should be travelled without reservations ....because every reservation we make only slow us down,only limit us with our finite thinking .....
That will be very polite,
are you really decide reach your destination?
It's funnier found it,
but if you know it,
make the reservation and presents us your destination,
(whenever she agree to meet the blog, of course)
Is your journey so long? Well... If I were in your shoes I would make it in the middle of the path... so you can have a nap before arriving...
when you arrive yor destination, the reservation would have already made by destiny!
big mark, it is fine to use the image as long as this blog and i are referenced as the source. which i am thinking you are planning to do even without my saying this.
mwb, your comment got me to thinking......is a destination a "place"?
and s.a., you seem to agree with mwb.....that a reservation could distort our vision of where we are headed. so, your thought of making the reservation at the beginning,( as you say a reservation represents a place to rest), would make a lot sense.....i would prefer to be rested before setting out on my journey.
i like it!
e & f, i had not thought of it, but a reservation is oh, so polite. and even coloring within the lines! which i usually prefer not to do.
but, a reservation does communicate to others my intent......interesting!
g, there is certainly something to be said for pausing and taking a nap along the way. i might dream and another avenue appear before me that i had not seen in the light of day......
z, and yes, do i really need to make a reservation?
