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?

Once I was dreaming that I have to switch on the light,and after many persuasion, I guess I send a command to my brain and switched on the light while I was still dreaming...
So I woke up into a dream and reached and turned on the light..
Btw an award waiting for you at my blog..
Take care
Much love
BH
well, then the answer to the question appears to be "yes"! it is amazing what we can accomplish when we are still asleep...........
thank you for much for the award. it means even more because it came from you and..........today, i posted the 365th image. that was my goal when i started this blog....a year of questions.

BH
thank you.........and it is the comments that have been so inspirational and enlivening to me. it has been a group project!
If i woke up into a dream, it depends what dreams i had,to determine my actions, i may or may not turn on a light .....btw would you dream when you are in the light ??
if i turned on a light, would i be trying to wake up from the dream or see it better?
if i was in a dream, i wouldn't know it.
you never die in your dreams.
you never wake in your dreams.

so, nana, a difference between the dreamstate and wakefulness is that we can't wake up in a dream........
but yet, if we fall asleep, we might not find ourselves in a dream.
