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?

probably not because it you don't know what you'll do next, you'd just continue doing what you were doing.
Why, what did you do before?
I guess you will know what you are doing right now, you are figuring out what to do next..
so if you know what to do now, by figuring out what to do next..what would you do next?
I love the colorful pictures..will be commenting on other posts soon..=)
BH
so, m, if i am doing what i was already doing but having no idea what this is, i might not have the ability to change?
if i don't notice what i am doing, then am i doing anything?
rw, if i remember what i did before, will i be a thing of the past?
bh, so figuring out my future path will help me recognize where i am now? so living in the future will enable me to show up in my present?
@ anne yes you won't be able to change. also, if you DO know what you are doing but don't know what's next, you will continue as you have been until you figure out what's to come.
Hmm, you could still be doing something, but not conscience of it. If it's a good thing, then you have good instincts. If it's a bad thing, then you are not self aware enough.
Maybe when you know what you are doing now, you will know what to do next ....maybe in living in the present will help you to show up in the future ....when you are doing something...and you are never noticing what you are doing, what does the something means to you??
I hope so
so if i focus so much on my future that i do not notice my present, then the future me can also become the present me i am not aware of....
i cannot take into the future that which i am not aware of..........or can i?
How do you have a future you if there is a not present you to learn and enjoy the moments of now ....where will be the hopes and aspirations to keep you moving into the future if your present (you tend to not to notice)does not offer the excitement of the future ....future is for us to build up with love :)...
