i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"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?

So it turns into the sun, and your hair turns green and frizzy :)...haha....:)
then I should hope for an eclipse.....
hmmmm...when eclipse happened ....does wolves come out ??? i am just wondering .... Then, again what happened to the hair if it is a eclipse ???
so if i wish on a star, the light of the star might touch me...and that could change how everything looks. including my hair!
but when darkness comes, do the wolves come out?
When darkness comes, wolves may come out ....so if the star turns into sun, where will be the wolves ???
Will the wolves still be there? Invisible in the sun's bright light?
