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?

you will see me, but think it an illusion.
and i suppose i will think i am not an illusion............
Are you in space ?? ...thus dun touch the ground??Or you have broken the law of gravity ?? Will you be the same as me, not walking by ...but floating by,thus if you are in the same realm as me, you will still see me... unless i am no more physical ...but a spirit...and if you are also in a spirit form, you will see me ...but if you are in a physical form ...it may be hard :)
i might be flying and you may not see me...could you smell me?
maybe if you flew in from the coast, i could smell the sea waters. or if you traveled down from a high mountain top, i could inhale the scent of ice and snow. or the arid scent of deserts dry and baking under the sun might accompany you.
s.a., perhaps that is the key......do you see yourself as being the same as me........or similar, at least.
yet, if your feet don't touch the ground, what has happened to your interpretation of gravity.........? have you found a way to ignore it and if so, without gravity, will there always be a space between us?
I would be more visible than ever, wouldn't I?
if i knew to look for you in unexpected places.
You know they float baloons for advertisements, floating makes you more visible doesn't it!
and memorable..........i might discover i could float, too.....
