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?

yes, the past is in the past, and you are done with it. if you are still having a past you won't be able to start a new day.
so if i am in the past, newness will be a thing of the past............
Each day is a new day, each moment is the present moment ...then again, every new day would be yesterday, every moment would be a memory ....and yes....thus it is called memories and yesterday...Yes, a great moment of the present :)
if i look back at yesterday, will it seem like a new moment?
If your yesterday is lived with great moments...it will always seem like new moments ....
The past has altered you irrevocably and in that way has become a part of you; it influences you as you face the present
