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?

the leaves. I would rather see the beauty than be stuck in the dirt.

The different seasons of our lives provides us both chances to be the first leaves and the roots growing slowly beneath the trunk of the tree....pick up the role, that suits you best at that particular season...
s.a., i like this! thanks.........
i think you can be either or,you would still be a part of the tree, if i choose to be the roots, the most vulnerable yet the most life supporting part of the tree i can,however attached to trunk and providing nutrient through myself i give birth to those leaves,so the leaves are truly have a part of me in them,so the entire tree is me and i am the entire tree...
bh, so good to be hearing from you.
i love the image of the leaves having a part of the roots within them. that there is no separation. they are all a part of the "treeness".
yet, i wonder. do the roots experience the leaves as, high up in the tree, they blow in the wind and do the leaves feel the damp earth beneath the tree?
