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?

Would i be the only cloud, that is left in the sky ?? Would i be able to shade all, being the only cloud, from the sun??
i doubt that you could shade all.
but you could change shapes........and even become fog on the ground.
if i were a cloudless sky, i could be expansive..........abstract, perhaps. the blue could seem so close up but yet, it would be so far away.
haha...fog on the ground ...then cars must have headlights...becos the fog will blind the roads ahead ....well...well...sky being abstract ...but i dun think so ...sky is like so pure and pretty ....it never "pretend" not to be there ...becos is always there ...but ....it is also powerful ...being able to control ....sending rain,snow etc...onto the earth :)...it should feel good to be the sky ...but with the clouds to "partner"...it will feel even nicer ...but perhaps without the clouds ....it is being the pure and pretty blue... standing up :)
it depends on the climatic condition of your heart
r, i do love your comment..........thanks.
s.a., and your words take me to an interesting place..........that of the sky being abstract yet always there.
when i look at the sky, i don't think of distance. i think of it being near me. the blue a kind of ceiling. yet, it is empty space. i translate abstraction into something i can define. yet, the vastness of it just might be incomprehensible to me.
i can feel the sun's heat. although once again, the distance between us is beyond my ability to comprehend.
so, on a sunny day, if i am like the sky, am i also aware of my own abstract, incomprehensible self?
