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?

yes, I would want to know about your language so that I could learn it, as well as the culture that goes along with it.

would you ask me if my language had a word for "culture"?
I will not ask about your native language ...because ...native ...isthe basics of a nation ...that is planet earth...thus culture ...i would look at you ...and tried to figure out how could i communicate with you...maybe you are not in the form of human ...maybe you are in the form of Alien, of Angel etc...so maybe i will use more than language to communicate, use more than words, use more than actions ...but perhaps we may just let each other by ....becos we are never the same :)
s.a., a huge comment. even if we were from the same planet, we would not be the same. my language would not be quite the same as yours, even if we went to the same schools. i would hear and see the world a little different than you. so, even if we appeared to share a common language, would you ask me about my own individual one?
