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?

If the kite is without a string ...do you think it would be able to take the filght to the sky?? the fears would be groundless ....haha...becos a kite without a string ....had forgotten how to descend ...with purpose :)....
if you were a kite with wings, would you be a bird?
so, s.a., a kite without a string would be a kite on the ground.........
and if so, would its fears be airborn?
If its fears be airborn....then,would it still take to the skies ??....Btw the kite you drawn seems to be stuck at the trunk of the tree ....is it ok ??
a kite without a string........is it really a kite? without being connected to someone holding the string, what does it become?
perhaps, a tree ornament....
Haha...tree ornament...but i still enjoy the sight of children and adults flying kites together :)...the warmth of seeing them making the kite get on a flight ....is really cool :)....
there is something about watching a kite fly that inspires a sense of wonder.
so freely soaring into the sky but yet anchored at the same time.
For me it's all about the kite, soaring, flapping in the wind. THat is strains against it's string is not what I usually focus on. Without strings, isn't there more freedom? Freedom to just fly away, to wander, to get lost. Perhaps there are fears either way. I LOVE the concept of fears being groundless.

without the strings, would i know what freedom was?
