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?

Do you mean less meaning...and not lost it's meaning ???...then we need to know the editor's way of focus, for that book....haha...so what is the author doing ??
so the question is what do i mean when i talk about meaning?
if the author changes her mind and edits her book, is the original less valid?
hmmmm.....meaning...so meaning is very important is it but is very subjective, thus,... when the author changes her mind and edits her book...does it also means...that her intentional meaning at first, had been changed and not the original less valid ...but the original gets into another direction ???
yes......is what is written still valid even if the writer has changed her mind?
might i consider it to have meaning, even if the author does not? and if so, what does that mean?!
