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?

Picture of my name ...would looks like ??? I need introduction to that picture if i dun know you well...but if i do ...guess ...i will know the picture :)...Anne, i need that introduction to your name picture as drawn ...any comments ??
i am intrigued by the concept of drawing a symbol or picture of my name, or you doing the same.
and if i looked at the picture, it might tell me things about you that i might not learn otherwise.
as for the image i drew, there seems to be balance, fluidity, motion and stillness. it is as much about the lines as it is about the seemingly empty space. and there is color, too....
what do you see? and what might you draw about yourself?
I seems to see a fish, a rocket ...an inverted triangle....and a green kite .....I see different things ...connected with lines ...Maybe the picture of my name,will be make up of bricks,cement and sticks ....red, grey and brown....Can you draw out that image ?? Do you know why my name picture make out of that ??
i am curious about your image and would like to hear more.
what's in a name?
r, good question!
in this cae, lines and colors and shapes.....
but what else could be in a name?
Names ....Character, charm and charge ????....haha :)...a silly guess :)
would like to hear more about charge, s.a.....
if i identify with my name, then is it my waking self?
Then, are your waking self ...charge up ??....
and if i forgot my name?
Are you free and happy to be whoever ??
am i my name? is my name me?
or am i nameless and free to be so?
