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?

Magic couldn't be as fabulous as me
;0}....
how enchanting!
A question, if you are enchanted ...what are the actions that followed ???
if i am enchanted, then the world is surprising and i see it with new eyes.
and you?
I am not a person who like surprises alot ....haha....well, the world maybe surprising but i hope the world to be at peace more than anything else ....and people living with fullness and happiness ....no big natural dieasters...to make lives miserable ....and also no self-inflict harm :)
i wonder...do we have to be enchanted to live in peace?
Why must we be enchanted ??...is not worth the while ....if all were just a passing illusion ...and you got to wake up from that enchantment ...:)
how to wake up from an illusion....
is there an alarm clock we can set? and if so, might we hit the snooze button?
no need to snooze ....you just ignored the alarm...and go back to your illusion ....anyway...days pass by and months pass by ...we will never know what would happen to us the next second ....but haha ...guess since i dun like surprises and i dun have much surprises ....then ya, i know and had plan what to do the next second :) unless ....God intervene and suddenly a lightning strike and my power got off ....:(
