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?

Maybe you tell me where the treasure is ....drawing a map for you would be easier :)....maybe the place of the treasure is the secret you are going to tell ??so thus if i am able to draw you the map....i know where the treasure is :)....
So if I tell you a secret, you might draw the meaning of my words? And then, I could see that you understand....
But what if you wanted to share a secret, too, and your language was that of a map?
the secret is the map is the secret
So a secret when shared becomes a map.
A map when shared becomes a drawing of secrets....
Which leads me to wonder, does a secret have a destination?
Ps. Paradox garage, it is good to hear from you again.
May be once you reach the destination, there are more secrets to be shared ....thus ...it leads you to more destinations ....haha...I like your picture :)...is the person with brown eyes telling a secret to the person on top with green eyes ??What will the green eyes person draw out for that brown eyes person ??
So, S.A. the destination is where secrets can be found...I wonder then is a destination an ending or a beginning?
I am glad you like the drawing. I am not sure who is telling the secret. At first, I thought the brown eyed person was telling the secret but then the green eyed person looked as if she had something to whisper....
Perhaps, one is a secret waiting for a map. And the other is a map discovering that it is a secret.
;)...haha...Anne, who do you want to choose to be ??
i would chose to be the pencil with which the map is drawn.
and you?
You are the artist...i can't draw
i love drawings done by people who think they cannot draw!
I choose to be ....hmmm.... the hands that draw the map :)....haha :)...interesting :)
maybe you could finger paint the map.....
