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?

Cereal contains nutrients ...bowl contains cereal .....bowl is solid, while cerceal will soften after soaking in milk ....:)...i choose to be the bowl :)...what about you, Anne ???
to be a container that is more permanent or the nutrients that will be used up.....an empty container or used up nutrients.......what is the difference?
Hmmm...is it incorrect to be a container then ???..but container is used in a way ..that is empty and filled for the purposes it is make for right ???....
I'm not sure there is a right or wrong.
I like it that you've found a common thread...both are useful. The cereal isn't useful until it's eaten. The bowl isn't until it's filled until it is considered to be decorative.
As you said, both have purposes.
So, i wonder why the bowl might want to be the cereal....
It wants to be melt in the milk ...hahaha :)...
To disappear into something else....
Whole milk or skim?
