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?

I like your picture :)...the way you spell friend :)....You are supposed to be the writer and... hmmmm...paper and pen...are only the stationary ...right ???
Thanks!
Well, yes, in reality i would remain a person. But if i become so involved in the writing of the letter that i forget about myself, would i become the paper or the pen.....? Like when a painter becomes so absorbed in the process that she "becomes" the painting or "loses" herself in the painting. Sometimes that happens when reading a book or watching a movie.
"loses" herself ....hmmmm...are you trying to say ...that she starts to imagine that she herself was the very person in that book ....:)...it always happen ...to me..and perhaps alot of others ...but we need to try to put in all efforts and thoughts ...one task at one moment ...so that, your mind will be able to perform right ???...thus a letter, is a letter, and pen and paper ...are it's helpers to make it possible ...
Let's see....
How about this....
When i am writing a letter, am i more like the page being filled up with words or the pen making marks upon the page?
I think i would prefer to be the pen then...but ya, i still can't get it ...becos since i am writing the letter...the pen is just an instrument that let my thoughts flow out ....right ???
How would the words get on the page without the oen?
