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 doorway to a well-lived life :)...Anne, what do you think ???
one would hope...
what if the shoes were unlaced?
The shoes keep dropping...and does that mean...a sloppy life ???...Wearing different kinds of shoes for different occasions is important :)...thus life would not be only about a pair of shoes ...but ya, a few pairs for different usage purposes :)
so, the holes would be what enables the shoes to stay on...if laced up. or if not, then they would enable the shoe to be loosened up...easy to get on and off...or be sloppy, as you say.
and as you also pointed out, if life were a shoe...only some styles would have laces....hmmmm
they would be the big breaks
a break being an enabling occurrence?
