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?

the questions will be..
what r u??
and
Hw old r u???
and what is a question, perhaps...........
A question is a quest for knowledge ...perhaps if the world came to an end ....whether you are having life, the breath etc is the deciding factor ...then again ...perhaps being at the beginning wasn't an important feat at all....but the question is ...whether had you live before, the world came to an end ??
had i lived before, how would i define the "world"?
The world is the smallest place in the planet, and the greatest place in your heart and mind :)....guess we see worlds differently at different seasons of our lives, at different parts of the planet, and at different angles of your positioning in status :)
wow..........i love this! thanks, s.a.
the circular strokes of your picture may be indicate that the end is the beginning of a new cycle.
r, you have a good eye! i did not even notice!
do i carry a bit of the end with me as i circle into a new cycle?
hmmm! would you like that? carry what has ended? Difficult to say!
is it possible not to take an ending with us as we begin anew?
I see a lot of people leaving things behind, purposely, sometimes heartlessly, so i just wanted to know what you would do?
if i did not take an ending with me, how would i know i was at a beginning?
