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?

What is candle make of ??...would i use the natural resources to burn so that i can be useful ...and if so,would i be choose be used for a longer period of time ...and for a brighter reason ?? Becos ...the natural resources is limited ...thus ...please consider factors :)....
if i were a candle, my light would be a flame that dances with the darkness.
and if i were a lamp?
If is a lamp...it is an invention for the systematic use of itself for the purpose of greater good ...."lamb"...and "lamp"....and is a "B" and a "P" difference :)....
is a candle an invention?
Candle is made of wax...so where does wax came from....sorry the not knowledgeable me dun know...maybe i can do a google search ...but that would be so boring :)....haha ...maybe i can hear the creative Anne answer :)
it can be made of soy or of a petroleum base. and probably other things. it is melted into a liquid and then it becomes a solid and then the flame burns it into a gas no longer visible except that it is surrounded by the outline of the flame..........
Then wax comes first ....or fire comes first ...if it is melted ...then where did they get what they got to melt the soy or petroleum ??...hmmmm....
this is interesting, s.a.!
the candle becomes the vessel for the flame. and a vessel holds the solid wax as it melts upon a ring of flame.
what is not a vessel?
