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?

Interesting word "literacy"...what does it takes to read someone's mind ???
i like your question, s.a.!
and wonder, what does it take to read someone's mind.....
I also wonder do i have answers :)
Another question why do you need to read someone's mind, was it to win his/ her heart ?? Or to do a callous thing on her/ him ??
i suppose there can be many motivations for reading someone's mind. one does not have to intend to do it...it can be a moment of just "knowing" what the other is thinking...as if there is a connection. like suddenly receiving a gift.
so, perhaps in those instances, "reading" is replaced by "connecting".
but, then if you tell me what i am thinking just to prove yourself, then is that literacy or something else?
:)...maybe at that moment of just "knowing"...is a very spontaneous act...literacy is a very studious thing to me ...Anne, you are a spontaneous kind or studious type ??
