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?

Should the first person that saw the star wish upon the falling star ?? Perhaps the falling star should gasp why did it fall ??....:)
so if the star were falling, it might be too preoccupied with why it was falling to consider making a wish on the first person it saw?
Maybe we should consider why does the star fall in the first place ??...thus making it wish on the first person it see ....:)...
could the star be so drawn to earth that it would lose its place in the solar system, falling instead toward this blue and green planet?
or might it lose its way, traveling so fast that it falls away from all it knows? and earth just happens to be near its path.
if the star sees a person, why would it seem appropriate to make a wish?
Becos the star feels that wishing on the person....the person may be able to learn from it ....the shining and light emitting "diamond"...that although had to fall to get to this planet becos of it's love for blue and green...or perhaps it was too tired travelling too fast :)
I will wish upon a shooting star :)
r, that leads me to ask if one shooting star wishes on another, what might happen?
THE WISH WILL COME TRUE :)
