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?

Black is the future ....and guess white should be purity ....there is alot of colours in the world ....do you then get distracted by the colours and could not see the black and white in it ??
ah......to look within the colors for black and white.......
if i saw the black and white within the a color, would the color itself change?
No, the colour wouldn't change, maybe your perception of it would.
If you see the good and the bad in a person, does the person itself change or just what you think of him?

s, if i see you seeing me...........seeing either good or bad in me.......rather than my many colors..........will i change because of it? will i see you differently?
how will i see seeing when seen?
Only if what you see others see when seeing you is new to you, then will it change you or how you see the others.
How it will change you though, depends on you and not on the one who sees you.
if others see me in a moment in time without the context of the rest of my life, is that seeing a snapshot of me?
if seeing is based on a moment, what is seen?
if you mix all the colours you will get black, and if you remove them you will have a white sheet.That is, if you want things in black and white
maybe i will draw with charcoal and get it all over my hands. and then, i will be the drawing..........and the canvas.
