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?

Oh YES! A garden maze: quiet, peaceful, beautiful. Not a noisy, violent techno torment!!!!
Rosemary
Video game is exciting ...and garden maze is confusing....one needs upbeat momentum to tackle ...another need patience and endurance to find it's exit :)....Anne, which one do you prefer ??
in a garden maze, the visual clues are not there. it can be disorienting. i must slow down and proceed in a way different from usual. i step out of my routine.
yet, a video game takes me out if my routine, too. although i must speed up to do it.
if i do not focus on my goal, which is more enjoyable? and if i reach it, which is more rewarding?
i have been lost in a maze and can lose myself in a video game. but each way of being lost feels different.
i would prefer the garden maze but maybe not all the time.
and you, s.a.?
Same here...i like garden maze in the sense that i could take my time to find the way out ...through getting lost ....about video game ....the exitement it create, that helps to make life ...a little more fun :)...video game ...reminds me of the time ...when i "race cars"...with my brother when we were in game arcade, when we were super young :)
i like that, s.a.....finding my way out through getting lost....
but then, sometimes, we just have to travel to another track and race sround as if it mattered....
yes you would....it's far more real and a source of energy than an electronic gadget
a different kind of energy...........
