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?

I believe reality sometimes breaks into fragments and it's entirety is abstract, it's us who view it and deliver meaning to it, realize the who "real and whole" aspect of reality. Thus life is an abstract art that sometimes makes sense, sometimes don't but to each every person it's understandable for it's whole content that is delivered in bits and pieces.
How have you been Ann?
BH
i am very happy to hear from you, bh! i hope you are enjoying college...we now live in fhe same country!
is a fragment of reality also a whole?
as you can see, bh, i am still doing this blog, thriving on the conversation that comes of it. also, starting a series of pen and ink drawings.
It would be a visual representation of your psychological reality
Is a nice pic you draw, anne :), in the realism...does being abstract plays a part ?? Being abstract always points us back to asking questions ...so is being reality asking lots and lots of questions ??
thanks, s.a.!
i like the thought that abstraction leads us to question.
i am wondering...where do what we perceive as answers come from?
Question is answers ....can come in different forms and ways ....a correct answer does have different meanings in different people lives ....maybe is important to know whether does the question deserves to be provided with an answer :)
or is the question an answer in and of itself............?
r, is my psychological reality an abstraction to others and maybe even to my own self?
