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?

haha...you will be counting the bricks that built the wall :)...btw, if you sit and see the wall, would you feel like knocking the wall down, to see what's on the other side ??? If you do, what would you use to knock down ???
Ah, so busy counting the stones in the wall that i forget about anything else.
I wonder, do i have to knock the wall down to see what is on the other side?
Except...that there is a window , or a door ...to lead us to see the other side ...right ???...hmmmm, do that means walls are a necessary lot for the operations of windows and doors ???
Very interesting question....
So if i sit in a room with a wall, will i forget the window when looking at the psinting on the wall?
You mean painting ??? Maybe having the window ...you let wind in, and the pleasure of looking at the painting of the wall will heighten...right ???...:)
Yes, painting. Not good at typing. Sorry.
So i would not have to be looking at the window to be affected by it....through the wind coming in.
