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?

I read all of your posts and most of them are very, very good, but this one caught my attention and I had to comment. I don't know why it did, but it made me think. nice work
thank you. for me, conversation with those who read these posts becomes a collaborative experience i really enjoy!
Well, if you're down that means you are looking at the earth not to the sky, but flowers grow from the ground too and give us all sorts of colors !!
so if my world were upside down, it might be more colorful than usual......
If my world were upside down, does that means that sky is where we were at....maybe we will not be the color of the sky but we were be the clouds (the form, the materials etc)that make up the sky ....then again, if my world were upside down...would i be able to handle it with a smile on my face ??
if your world was upside down and you became like a cloud, maybe you would rain when you were sad.......but if the sun came out and your were happy, would you disappear?
if my world were upside down, would things make more sense since I now see them the other way round?
would the earth be the new sky for me?
bh, i like this...........does upside down imply confusion? or simply another way of looking at life? if i were upside down, would the sky, be (like you say) the ground? and if so, what color would it be if i were the color of the sky?
if you were the color of sky which is originally blue..then in an upside down world..you would rather be unique and stand out, seen the brown and green lushed green is the new sky..and you are a beautiful blue in that picturesque...
so, if i am the color of the sky, i am dependent on what is considered to be the sky..........yet if my color were linked to the vast array of hues.........what then?
