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?

Ahh, this picture shows my life ... ;)
thanks........
Would i be dots that are connected with lines that clearly shown a picture instead ??
s.a., very cool...........a collaboration between dots and lines.........and a picture results!
so, i can be a dot and still be a part of something beyond dots themselves........
I think i dun want to be an individual dot that stands ....and being lines freely scribbled....does not show any usefulness....so therefore i choose to be a dot that connects up lines to have a picture clearly drawn :)
so a small dot can connect lines that might appear not to have a connection.........a dot has a lot to offer, it seems.
