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?

Treasure chest is made up by one of the trees in the forest .....if you are a forest ...this means you will be able to be many treasure chests :).....i want to be a uniquely crafted treasure chest from the best wood of a tree from the forest :)
if a tree has the capability of being a treasure chest, does it, in fact, need to be one?
what treasure would be inside a chest rather than inside a tree?
Expensive stones would be in a treasure chest ....what do you think trees like to be other than being treasure chests ??
would the rings inside the tree.....rings speaking to years of life.....would that be a treasure? and the cost of it?
maybe trees would like to be birds.
what are your thoughts?
I think trees like birds ...but maybe not be like them,they are happy becos they allow the birds to build their nests there ...so that they can have a resting place ....:)...trees are too steadfast to be like birds who treasure freedom :)...
so what would a streadfast tree wish to be?
