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 he does not want to see me...would he choose to see the space in which i am standing ...would he want to see that space if he does not want to see you at all??....if you want to see that person badly,would you want to see even the glimpce of the space in which he is standing??
if he does not want to see me, could he not prevent himself from seeing the space in which i was standing?
if he does not want to see me, does that paradoxically connect him to me in some way? rather than if he were just indifferent to me............
yet, your question changes the focus......and so is interesting..........and leads me to ask, if i want to see that person, do i see him in places where he is not actually standing?
I've experienced this.
And my answer to this is...
he couldn't even tell the difference.....
so nana, i guess what matters is that i can see the space in which i am standing...........
he would miss that and a lot more if he wants to avoid something as vital as you
r, thanks for your kind words..........
i wonder if he does not want to see me, if that is because he only wants to see himself.......and although in some respects, i do mirror him that is not all i that i do..........
