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?

No, one nose.
My head has no i's
but blind has an i
all I knows
is there is no i in help
but it would be there anyway

so spelling can be an artful experience, it seems.
if i had that proverbial eye in the back of my head, i wonder if i could use it to see how to spell "help" in a language i had not heard before.
i have been thinking about this question.
if my head is lost, would my own eyes not be lost with it?
within me is an inner eye, yet, if i see what that eye, how could i lose my head?
A body is nothing without a head, but does a head need a body? Would it want to go back?
Your eyes are lost with your head, if you find one eye, soon you'll find the head. I think it's enough you find one eye.

so,......just one eye......how often do i miss what i see because i look for a huge image? a small part can lead me to the gestalt.....the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
and mwb, you raise a new question........would the head want to go back? why would it?
What is the head for if there is no body .....if there is no "i" in help ....then could it mean that i wouldn't be able to find my head again since there is no "i"....if i lose my head, how many eyes will it take to find it?? No number of eyes could find it ....because eyes is attached to your head....unless there is another pair of eyes in your heart :)...then you may locate your head :)
yes, s.a., that is a good question.....what is the head for?
