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?

Do you think you want to jog with the moon and let the sun ...continue to stay alone ??
then if i jogged with the moon, i could not become the sun?
The sun is stationary right ?? and the moon rotates with the earth ?? so if you jog with the moon...do you think you will become the sun??....What makes the substance of a sun ??
the sun and earth and the moon are all moving through space although the sun does not revolve around anything.
so if i jogged with the moon, would i focus on earth or look to the stars?
Do you think when you focus on earth, you are running towards a goal?? And if you focus on the stars are you chasing after dreams ??
s.a., i do like these images! thanks!
i do wonder...in order to win a race with the moon, would i need to become the sun....
Maybe when you are with the moon, and enjoying the race....whether becoming the sun may not be important anymore :) Perhaps ...you become one of the stars :)instead of the sun ....
so if i enjoy the race, i am not limited to the star called..."sun" .......
:)....but if you could race the sun, and become one with the moon...will you want to become other not prominent stars ??
what about being a comet that can crash into planets and bring new life to them?
If you destroy them in order to bring new life to them....was it a cruel or clever move ??...Comet ....or cosmet or becos we met ??haha ....:)
is newness not born at least in part of...destruction?
cosmet...yes....
But sometimes, destruction ....seems to be very cruel ....perhaps when you destroy something ....it is for the sole purpose of building it up again....and not causing hurt :)
for a flower to bloom atop a slender green stem, is not the seed destroyed?
as you say, there is a destruction that is part of growth which is different from destruction for the sake of destruction.
so can i race without needing to destroy...just for the joy, the feeling of running? and if i do not wish to destroy that which i race, what do i become?
