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, since the moon controls how the ocean moves, it should certainly be able to put it to sleep.
Unless the ocean decided to rebel :)
and what would a rebellious ocean do?
I love this one. Sounds like the start of a lullaby all on its own...
Thanks, Sadie! I just might explore that direction!
A rebellious ocean is having a Tsunami....Well...when the moon sang a lullaby...what would it sounds like ?? Who will write the rythme and lyris of the lullaby??Would the moon do it itself ??Or would it listen to the ocean waves for it's lullaby ?? If the ocean fall asleep does it means ...it stop creating waves ??
s.a., i like your questions!
if the moon were to sing a lullaby, a song of comfort, to the ocean, would it be a collaboration between the two? would the moon listen to the sounds of the waves and sing of them in her own language? and somehow, the ocean would understand?
can the ocean ever be completely still, even when asleep? is it like us? even in the deepest sleep, we breathe, our hearts beat, we might even toss and turn in our beds.
are we like the ocean, incapable of stopping ourselves from making waves, even we are asleep?
and if like us, the ocean dreams, what would its dreams be made of?
if the oceans fall asleep, would the ship be able to travel the seas?
BH
and would fish swim?
