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?

Guess being a solid line, can be the outline of a shape too. Anne, what kind of shape you would like to be ??
if i were the outline of that shape, i would be defined by that shape. i am not sure i would want that....
would you?
You bring out a very good point for thinking ....hmmmm....i had a shape in mind when i ask you that question :), anyway i had another question, why are you not sure of being defined by a shape ???
what shape were you thinking of?
if i thought of myself as a shape, that would limit how i saw myself. and i might be disappointed if others did not see me as that shape.
oh...so you cared how others would see you...and being limit by the shape....i will not care how others see me...except those that i care about, because those who are not related to me,nor my good friends, would have their own support groups, if the shape limit how you see yourself ....then, was it because you feel uncomfortable in that shape....the shape i had been thinking ...is a star ....:)
i might wish to be one shape today and another shape tomorrow......
if others do not see me as the shape i am, then what happens with our communication?
well, if you were a star, then i would wish you beautiful travels through the universe of your choice.
The star's daydream starts ....with the travelling through the universe of the star's choice...haha...but ..this star is not a clever star ...having not even completed university education...so ...is daydreaming time ;)....
to daydream is to create....universes not seen by man...only stars....
