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?

That one is so intriguing. I'm having a hard time coming up with something..... Maybe, freedom. Maybe lonely. hmmm...
Rosemary
if freedom is lonely...how would loneliness be defined?
So i will be the last,the end... of something ...that is not welcomed :)...Loneliness ...is the freedom to feel anything ....wanting the affection that never come to be...wanting the comfort that never happen....wanting the tears to flow but it never happen ....
s.a.,
beautiful words. thank you for them.
so freedom can bring with it loneliness at times. can fill us with longing to be free of the longing.....
is the last raindrop within each of us?
Perhaps ...maybe everyone of us has the power to see the rainbow that each last raindrop would bring :)
ahh, the rainbow...
is seeing the rainbow about looking at the right place at the right time?
