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?

The figure of star is very nice. Being a planet you got the chance to obit ....being a star you got the chance to shine ....hmmmm....hard choice :)
if you were a very shiny star, might you be blinded by the light?
The shiny star must know why the light is there ....and if is blinded by the light ....would it make a difference ?? Would the star remained shiny ??
very interesting question..."would it make a difference?"
i wonder if being blinded by the light enlightens the star....
:)...perhaps the star being blinded...did not see itself as shiny ....thus ...is a humble star ...
which leads me to wonder...how would it see other stars?
The shiny star may blind others, and the humble star may see others same as itself :)
so a shiny star might not be able to even see other stars due to its own shining nature....
and the humble star might see the other stars as similar to it and if so, how clearly would it see them?
haha...i am a confused star now ...
:0).....Maybe in seeing the other stars ....the stars with it's shine, reflect each other shining qualities ....thus...although blind, it being humble can become very shiny...what about planets then ??
well, that was an amazing question!
so back to planets....
if a planet orbits its star because it has to, how would it feel about stars with whom it does not share that connection?
hmmm....how will the planet feel about stars that does not share that connection....make all of them bum in a whirwind....and connected at "Connicult"....haha....there is a place in America, that is of that name, right???....i remembered a movie i watched long ago....but it is it important to connect them all up ???
amazing that you know of connecticut, one of our smaller states?
does a whirlwind connect or disconnect or both?
is it possible to truly disconnect..or even connect?
