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?

When you sing for our supper, does that means that supper could be our breakfast for the next day ??Since you did not eat supper ...but sing ...haha :)...
ah, leftovers! some people eat cold pizza for breakfast......i have yet to do that........
am wondering what breakfast could mean.......how is it different than supper?
Why eat supper ...is going to make you fat :( haha..but with company of friends that maybe different
:(, but i always think is not very healthy to stay late at night to eat supper, ...dun eat cold pizza ...is not good for health and taste ...heat it up before you eat :)...Guess breakfast is important becos over the night resting ...the stomach is empty ...so need to replenish with good food :)
if we must perform in order to feed ourselves, will we hunger for a time in which all we have to do is wake up?
but if we wake up, we have to leave the dream behind........
Haha...would you satisfield your hunger or do you want to build your dream ?? It all depends on your choices you make ....thus ...it goes to say perhaps ...we need to work things up that it both satisfield our hunger and in the process build our dreams ....and well, it may need scarifice of something that is important to you ...but ultimately is you who should decide what to do ....then again, sometimes i am awake not by hunger, and sometimes i have dreamless nights ....:)
If we sing for supper, will we enjoy the melody behind the food. Maybe eat it in a sing, song way, with a rhythm? And if the song finishes at dinner time, will we still remember the beat, still feel the hunger for breakfast?
Have missed you, hope you are doing well!
Much love,
BH
bh, i miss you as well. aren't you getting ready to come to this country for college?
i like your thought about there being a melody behind everything. and a rhythm, that even if i am no longer hearing the melody, i can feel within myself
s.a., hungering for a dream..........even if i must sacrifice something for the dream. i can deal with nightmarish days, but nights without dreams.........
so, how do i feed the dream?
