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?

Daisies are white ...and leaves are green...what do you think the leaves would be ??
that is the question....:)
i don't have an answer right now......
The leaves are the "partners" of daisies....to let known the "whiteness"....purity of the daisies....:)....
your comment disappeared......so, i am cutting and pasting it here.......

your answer points out how differences contrast....and help us see what we might not.
when i look at the leaf, i wonder if i might become so absorbed in the leaf, that i forget about the flower...
That is why flowers grow on top of the leaves :).....but guess leaves play an important part in plants ...taking in the sunlight to make food for the plant, helping the flowers to grow nice and bright :)...
i like your comment. making food with which to nourish our lives.
the beauty of the flower nourishes us, too.
perhaps there is an art to how we feed ourselves.
