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 you wear a dress that's too big will you be overshadowed by it..when people will look at you,would they see the dress?or the person in that dress? Will largeness overshadowed your small yet significant features..
BH
Why would you wear a oversized dress ....could it be you couldn't afford to buy a fitting dress?? If you feel as big as what you wear, then is going to be ok....but if possible try to wear fitting size clothes becos it covers and give you warmth that you need ;)
bh, are we overshadowed by what we wear? or maybe the better word would be "shadowed"?
and to s.a., as well, is it easy to really see ourselves? does it happen that we see ourselves as bigger or thinner or older or younger than we are?
and if i "wear" something, even something like doubt or anger, will i feel diminished by that?
Something you wear resembles what you would feel comfortable in ...not to abide to the society norms but to that style of yours ...how you feel for the occasion, how you want to present for that event and how you want to look for that moment ....:)...that is fashion :)
so i can become my own designer. and i can design what i wear, whether it be clothing or points of view.
yet i wonder, if i chose it, can i be diminished by it?
Well...is hard to say if you will be diminished by it....you got to let the facts and feelings do the balancing acts ....then again....when you get to choose it ....you won't mind being diminished by it ....right??Why should i be bother to know i being make small?? Since in the first place i love it ....and choose it ....btw when you make a choice is it based on your preference for it or ???
your message reminded me, that i could purposely wear a dress that was too big because i like the look. that the dress could be too big and i could feel just right.......
