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?

I rather be silence .....i want the voice of my own, and not just only an echo ....
so what once was your voice changes when it echoes back to you...and does it no longer sound like you?
if i repeat this question....would i become an echo?
Why is there a need to have an echo ??....yes, when a voice changes and it echoes back to you...it does no longer sound like you ....
i am wondering about what an echo is...
if i think about something i just typed or just said, is that an echo? if i think about a situation that has happened, is that an echo?
An echo...is a reflective sound ...perhaps it depends on how your mind process that piece of information ...thus it becomes an echo ....having echo wasn't a bad thing....but,yes i prefer my orginal voice ...a voice of my own, without any reflective effects from any surface :)
could an echo show you anything new about your own voice?
