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 is lovely.
I like to be a log in the fireplace :)....
s.a......a log because?
thanks, r......
A log burning in the fireplace ...together with the rest ....fireplace ...is a place with many logs burning ....i just want to do my part, so that warmth and light is greater than a candle doing it alone :)
s.a., had not considered a fireplace with one log only. it would burn but not with the same warmth, as you say.
the light from many candles would be brighter than the fireplace but not as warm....
so what would you prefer, the brighter light or the warmth?
i prefer both, the brighter light and warmth...resting at the fireplace :) ....guess i think snow filled nights ...with a good fireplace can do wonders ...and looking out into the dark through the windows while the snowflakes ....came dropping down...and best with your partner who had been striving hard with you to make life works ...the joys...of sliver age :)
the cold, white snow and the warmth of a colorful fireplace.....and the sharing of it.
we can light the fireplace but the snow comes when it will.....
probably...you can give both light and heat that way
would it matter that a candle can be carried from place to place?
but anne, the fire place can lend its lighted logs too..
the log as a source of light or darkness....
