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?

Can you find a one-sided coin easily ???...if is not common ...does it mean it's value is high...or it does not have value anymore ...becos is not useable ???
Very interesting questions!
What is the value of being unusual?
Of not being useful?.
Is there a value of being unusual ??? If being not useful means there is no value ...does that mean...a piece of art ...will be of no value ...guess the value of a one-sided coin, lies in the heart of the beholder :)...Just like a little plastic jewel blacelets that my niece make for me ...it costs more than 50 pieces of diamonds from the most expensive shop ....:)
I like this!
So does anything have a value if there is no beholder?
It will eventually be picked up by the garbage man, and disposed away ...burnt as ashes ....do you think then, eventually everything do go back to become ashes ....so does any value still holds in anything ???...even to a coin ???
Value "holds" you say....
To be of value, does it need to be beheld?
Otherwise, it vanishes...to become free as the wind...until we notice tree limbs dancing in the wind...behold them...and value begins again.....
why one-sided?
I suppose because i am curious about something i have never seen and will never see...a one sided coin....hmmm,
