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?

No, you're only playing with time!
so does playing have a direction?
Perhaps is your body/mind origination that will decide...(that is playing with time)... what are the rules that you follow while playing :)...
if i am playing, do i create the rules?
May be by having others set the rules ...and you play along...it increase your credits....and having play long and well...you had the experience and the tactic to know how to improve the game ...making it more "changelling"...and enjoyable :)
ah, so letting go of control could enable me to look at things differently. and by demanding i be in control, i could miss the point...if so, would i be going forward in reverse?
nice blog... please visit also mine if you have the time for it.
