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?

A ringing bell...will not experience silence.... but once it stop ringing ....it knows about it ....and most of the time it should felt that it should "dutyfully" observe the silence until the appropreiate time to ring ....becos a bell only rings when it needs to signal the start of a "new" period/chapter of time/life :)...a new period of time for students studying, to change subjects ....and a new chapter of life for the couple whose "wedding bells" ring :)
if a ringing bell signals newness or change, what does silence speak to?
Silence speak to a wait of newness :)
so silence is a way of listening for newness...
if i were a silent bell, waiting, how would i remember the sound of the ringing?
"Tough" to answer....perhaps remember the joys of ringing :)
remembering more of the action of ringing, rather than the sound...
silence then being stillness...
why not both ??...if stillness is silence ...then does action means sounds ??
interesting question...
can action be another form of silence?
and can stillness be the sound of a bell ringing?
Unless is hidden action....and silence can't be ringing bells...but silence can be waves at the sea :)
ah, yes...hidden action...does thatbmake anothervtype of sound?
and the sound of waves...takes me to a place beyond newness, beyond action or stillness...am wondering where that is....
In peace or dead?
In Peace or dead?
alive to the peace of the sound...
