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?

oooooo Good One!!! I relate to this one for sure right now, cause we are busy planting to fill in a clear cut. I am planting in fear things won't "take" and they grow up to blossom in dread of dying? Or do my plants sink their own roots into the boggy soil, fearing they will dread where they will live when they "grow up"? I think we'll never know. If they live, they live. If they die, they die and I'll plant something else. hmmmmm.. quite the poser.

So we might blossom in another's fear....
A life without a bog, would be so dry.....
I want to believe that when we are rooted in boredom...we will flower in dread ....and when we are rooted in fear, we will flower in unhappiness...how's that, Anne ???
Then will the plant fear or dread the blossom?
huh???...hahaha :)....
Do we sometimes fear the possibility of being afraid?
Anne, what do you think you are afraid of ???
I am afraid of becoming the fear.
And you?
I am afraid of flowering dread ...anyway...flowering in unhappiness...may not happen to me ...becos ...i only happen to be fearful of small insects ...and animals roaming around ....hahaha :)
At least small insects do not blossom....
