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 you fall off as a raindrop...perhaps you would know the cloud :)...perhaps you would miss the cloud :)....perhaps the cloud will no longer be the cloud :)....
what might the cloud be then?
Hmmm....the cloud ...is perhaps the time that the raindrops spent together when they are in another form :), in each other comfort :)
so i wonder how the raindrop would feel about being separate snd fslling away from that source of comfort....
Two ways ....either sad or happy, sad that it is changed into another form leaving it's comfort and the time together with others ....and happy becos is on a mission to water the earth, thus giving life :)
if i shed a tear, would a passing cloud think i was a raindrop?
Maybe the cloud won't know....becos it only pass by,thus no knowledge of it being a raindrop or tear....perhaps the tear/raindrop , need to be dry out by the yellow sun :)....at the bottom of the picture :)
if i shed a tear while standing under a cloud, would i think it was a raindrop and i a cloud?
why must you stand under the cloud??....do the cloud let you remembers that ...you wants so much to be a cloud...thus the raindrop will become a tear ....
perhaps i would want to be a cloud in order to change shapes...and, yes, i might be shedding a tear when i remain in just one shape.
what do you think the raindrop would know about the cloud?
depends on how sensual you are and how much you enjoy being in the rain drop..
so i might be so immersed in being the raindrop that i would not think about the cloud.....
