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?

Is there any transcends of time,to an illusion ??
perhaps time is meaningless to an illusion. perhaps, i, as one who lives in time, am meaningless to an illusion. perhaps, feeling like an illusion would celebrate with me is also an illusion.
then, am i free to celebrate the anniversary whenever i choose?
In the first place don't wed an illusion....becos there can never be any anniversary ....illusion is just an illusion ...had a real wedding with a "solid" man....becos we are all humans who will never totally understand illusion nor time ...
will we humans totally understand other humans?
or is that an illusion?
if so, would you want to be wedded to it?
If we do understand human...does that also means that you choose to let this understanding stand ....would you rather ....choose what you want to understand and not something,or somebody you need to understand ...perhaps to understand someone , the bonding...needs to be there ...to create that bond ...time may not be timeless :)
so if i bond with someone i do not understand, will i come to better understand myself?
:)...you will...surely...and you will say that person is interesting :)...the danger is ...when the bond is strong and firm ...you discover that you are getting tired of understanding that person :(
yes...there are other ways to deepen my understanding of myself...but sometimes, it is hard to understand that....
I'd love to wed an illusion and no worries about the moment of the magical starting!
after the wedding, do we begin to find ourselves living with another illusion?
as it's an illusion, first check ifyou have crossed the twelve month period together or the passage of time was an illusion too!!!
so is when illusions agree with each other...reality?
it's still an illusion :)...you are bound to realize it one day...
and if i realize i am an illusion?
