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 "lasting part"...that makes or breaks your life :)
how would it break my life?
Because if is a poor kind of rubber soles....it can't last you to hike a long distance ...or higher up the mountains ....thus breaking you up before you could fully enjoy the journey :)
life is often a hike..............involving mountain climbing...........i do agree.
but no sole will last forever...........then what?
Have to buy a new pair of hiking shoes ....but since life cannot be redo ....nor as easy as buy a new one ....then why not we go soleless ??? But no, we can't do without our soul...and life is about the spirit and soul ....and ya, maybe the phyiscal self :)....
ah, but if we walk in boots without a sole, would we better feel the ground?
or would the bottoms of our feet become so calloused that we feel very little?
would i feel like the sole person who walked in boots without a sole?
So the phyiscal sole will become calloused and we feel little ....so who will the daring person to walk in boots without a sole ??
so is the question...do we dare feel little?
Maybe in feeling little ....do you then lose your sole (soul)??
to feel little in the case of the hiking books is soleful.
but to feel little, in other situations, could be soulless...
I dun really understand ...but is ok ......:)
i will try again.
to wear boots with thick soles, could result in feet feeling less.
but if i feel little of my life, what impact will that have on my soul?
i was playing with words in my comment...the longer explanation perhaps will be clearer....
I think...feeling little may impact on your soul...but all great things happen with a small beginning...we should always only try to get the best rubber soles ....but even it is not good enough ....it is the soles that is assign to you....did you faithfully climb the mountains with or without the soles ??
maybe i climbed the mountain while "standing" on my hands....
