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?

When you are not around me ...then how would i know ???
would you imagine that you knew?
Why should i imagine ?? since you have been around me ??...why must you choose to let me know the lonesome you ??...
what if i am the lonesome me when i am around others?
from sally ang.....
Wouldn't the others make you feel you are not alone ??....Perhaps becos you are not afraid to be lonesome ...thus i know who you are even when you are alone :)
i like this...you know that i am fearless about being alone and that is the essential aspect of knowing who i am when i am alone...whether i am with other people or on my own...
are we not always alone yet never alone?
No, you would remain unknown to me.
would you know who i am when i am being myself around you?
"would you know who i am when i am being myself around you?"
No. Unless I would lower the definition of knowledge to believe/trust.
what is knowledge without believe/trust?
