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?

Maybe when you look outside the window ...you will be captivated by the scenery and weather ...thus, will you noticed what you see inside of yourself ?? Maybe, you will reflect that scene,weather ...and be transformed :)...
so to find myself interesting, i can forget about myself entirely and focus on something outside of me?
Huh??...interesting question :) ....sometimes i do find that it is that way...becos when you focus on something outside of yourself ....you will find...that there is alot of different things around ...but if you never see inside of yourself to be transformed ...could it be that the things outside does not deserve your attention,concern or care...so maybe ...is not interesting anymore ....hmmm....What is outside the window, will make you see yourself ??
if i am looking out the window, does that mean i am being an observer rather than being action orirnted?
Will the scenery outside the window...make you want to leave the room and be in the outdoors ...thus be one in the scenery....and does that means ...you will see inside of yourself ??....But sometimes i feel that i am more of a observer ....guess alot of us are ...but not anymore, for the younger generations ....then, again...are they too reckless ....not knowing, or planning for the world outside the window :)
is not knowing, the assumption that what is outside the window, all i am?
if i am an observer, am i the window?
what is the window?
The "window" is an avenue where you get knowledge and love from the the room you are in....sometimes they are humans, other times ....they are things ...:)
i like regarding the window as an avenue.
...helping me see beyond the room i find myself in....
