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?

A really good question, which many of us fail to ask?
If you lose everything ....and only left with one and only thing.., Anne what would you like to have ???
my thoughts.
and you?
My life :)
so to gain one's life or to lose it.....is there an art to that?
I guess the satisfaction from the lessons learn when one does lose something. And also the knowledge of everything and everyone value, as someone or something's value is essentially known when we have lost it. An essential cliche lesson of life.
so, bh, i way of gaining is to lose......
You would have yourself to lose and with that everything you might stand to gain.
well then, i' ll have to sit fown and think about that...
what is gain and what is loss, by the way?
