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?

A piece of sweetness ....or a piece of tastelessness ???....if peace is the only spice we have, i wonder....if it is ...a real deal ???
What might cause it to be unreal?
That is a hard question....because i don't like unreal things ....so i think the real deal to me is still that peace to me is like a piece of sweetness ...that like mash marrow ...that melts in the mouth...haha ...what do you think Anne??
i wonder if what is real to one person might not necessarily be real to another. sweetness to you might be one thing...almost indescribable....but something else to another.
if i am at peace...am i at the beginning or the end or somewhere in between? or does peace have anything to do with the journey?
and if a journey is in pieces, then what is that about?
Just like spice...as it always comes in pieces ...and if the journey is in peace ....there is alot of pieces that can add up to it...thus joy is in the picture :)
There is a saying...the whole is greater than the sum of its parts....,
