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?

hmmmm....speed on the roads ...or float in the air ....if i am too tired to be a car ...then, i will choose to be a kite :)
Then someone would the string that connects you to the earth....
The kite would prefer to be in the sky with the clouds or ....being pull back to connect with the earth ???....:)
Interesting. Because of the string, the kite could be in the clouds but still be connected to the ground.
Would I rather be the string?
I would be a string of a guitar :)...may not like the idea of being a string to the kite ...tiring to pull and let go of the kite ...
Would you be pulling and letting go of the guitar strings?
The guitar would produce music :)...what if the string of the kite is cut ???...Will the string ..then, lost it's purpose ???
A broken string for each..guitar and kite...no more music. No more flight.
So would you rather be the string? Or the guitar with broken strings?
I suppose that the guitar could be played like a drum. And the string...well...it could tie together a gift for a musician....
