Beauty from Discipline (Kari's 100 Days of Ordinary Objects Art Show)

Hey friends… Tony here.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Kari’s art showing on Thursday. It was a true joy to sit in the corner and watch the river of art-lovers thoroughly enjoy themselves. One hundred small paintings on textured parchment hung carefully on the wall in ten, ten-piece collections.

I also admired each piece… so many objects, so much detail… indisputable beauty.

The thing that struck me most was the breadth of the accomplishment, the consistent discipline it required to manifest a unique creation everyday for one hundred straight days.

The power of discipline.

The beauty from discipline.

The Dalai Lama said, “A disciplined mind leads to happiness…” On Thursday I witnessed a room of happiness.

If you were able to attend or not, I wanted to share that happiness with you today.
