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?

Oh...only seeing yourself today ...must be a lonely experience...you won't lose sight of yourself ...but you are going to miss the fun outside...but once in a while when you are the only person you see...you will get to know the insight of yourself :)
can i be in the midst of others and only see myself?
to gain insight into myself, i must see myself, as you say, s.a.
what if i see other people reflected in me?
If you are in the midst of others and only see yourself ...do you think is worth it ?? Perhaps in the midst of others ...people would be reflected in me ....haha...let's mingle around :)
in the midst of others, i could see a party happening within myself........
would i be the last to arrive?
If you are the last to arrive, does it mean that you are the most important person of the party, the star of the party ?? ...but guess if i can choose...i would be real excited for the party and i wouldn't be the star to arrive last...but one who celebrates within that party with the rest ...waiting patiently for the star to appear :)
if i was the last to arrive and was the star, what would that mean about my actual interest in the party? would the most important part of the party be my entrance?
yet, if i see myself everywhere i look (in the faces of the other guests), would i be discomforted by the fact that i had arrived before i got there?
