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?

The measuring tape for fashion ...is sometimes use to measure the waist...thus ...haha...maybe the mid of a hourglass ...for measuring time :)
where the grains of sand must pass through..........
to if it used to measure the waist, then it encircles the waist......what would the tape encircle so as to measure time?
Why do you encircles someone waist ...hmmm....so does the tape do the same for measuring of time ??
if you are measuring someone's waist, you would put one end of the tape at the waist and wrap the tape around until it joins together.
so, if i were measuring time, what would i be wrapping the tape around?
you mentions encircles ....if is not the tape ....but hands or belt ... what will happen to both the waist ....and maybe the hands and the belt ??
if a measuring tape is not used, then would hands or belt measure differently?
if i tried to hold time in my hand, or encircle it with something or measure it, would each have a different result?
why do you worry? people would never ask you the time...
why do you worry? people would never ask you the time...
sometimes, is it about what we ask ourselves? or simply to ask, out of curiosity...even when there is no answer in sight......
