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 a kaleidoscope ?? ...hmmm...i dun know what is it used for :(...so can't answer :(
thanks for asking. i was not sure how recognizable such a thing was. it is a tube with a part at the end that includes various sizes and shapes and colors of colored glass or plastic. if you turn the kaleidoscope and look through the tube, then an infinite number of designs occur. often there are mirrors in the midst of the pieces, too.
Yes ...i know there is something like that ....i had saw it before :)...is very nice ...can i ask another question...why do you choose a red crayon ??
for me, red is a color speaking to me of the energy of life.
but it could be any color of crayon that could draw upon the page.
If i focused to be that red crayon ....being the energy of life ...living life to the fullest ...does it means i were also be a kaleidoscope that portraits the beauty of this life :)...hmmm...
as i turn the crayon and the light hits the line drawn in different angles, does not the color shift? are there not hues within the red? if so, then as you say......does the kaleidoscope exist within the red crayon, too?
the kaleidoscope is one of my favourite little old discoveries from the past. My first perception was a brown combination of roof in the city.
