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?

This one is so cool! The whole concept answers its own question. RN
thanks!
i especially enjoyed creating this one.....
Perhaps while walking you realise that ....time actually stands still...or flies through :)
if time stands still while it flies through, is that what creates timelessness?
Yes....just like when i walked at the same jogging trail, at the park while i am 27 and now i am 37 ....haha :)....but is not timelessness ...becos my age is not the same anymore :(....
ah, but if you now jogged...would you pass by your 27 year old self walking?
hmmmm....guess i get what you mean...the idea of starting to jog now is good :)
if you imagine yourself jogging, who might you see?
joker :)...joker juggling and jogging along the jogging trail ....haha :)...
and would you be the joker?
:)...what do you think my answer would be ??
that you especially enjoy the costume.....
huh...haha ...what has it got to do with costume ??
what is a joker without a really colorful costume?
Being a joker will never be an easy job...becos not all the time, you would like to wear a colorful costume....and when it's in the hour to wear a colorful costume and you are not in the mood ...you still need to wear it and ya ....haiz...tough :(
being a joker is serious business......
