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?

One note at a time...create music...if only a "note"...that would be silence ...just like the "notes"...you took down while studying ...in the silence, did you manage to gain knowledge ...if so ...play one "note" and i will notice you ...haha :)
so if i played one note only, other notes would be silenced? and after a shile, if the sound of one note was constant, would i hear it?
It's a single note...It's gonna be silent anyway
Keeping the note constant ...does not make music :)...thus how could we hear ?? with written notes it will make us reflect and get deeper understanding of the subject ...thus "notes"...and not "note"...haha ;)
so unless we "note" the note, it is not music....
could one note eventually become noise?
Interesting question...noise becos of a note ...how do you define noise ?? Unpleasant sounds or unnesscary sounds ??
unpleasant sounds.
but you have asked an interesting question...what do we call unnecessary sounds?
hmmmm...."disturances"..."nonsense"...haha :)
when is what is unnessary regarded as nonsense?
depends ...on individuals...:)
is it nonsense to think something is unnecessary?
Do you think everything is necessary ?? Does that means ...nonsense does not exist??
to me it would be nonsense to think that everything is not necessary. although having said that, i wonder what nonsense means?
I only know that nonsense are things that i think that does not make sense to me ...they may or may not be necessary ...things that does not make sense maybe necesscary...but at that moment ...i just couldn't figure it out :)
so what i do not understand might appear to be nonsense. so it could be said that nonsense inspires me to learn.....
