Commit Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty

It's a bumper sticker of course. I like it. Seeing it again, I was caught by the idea of senseless acts of beauty. Are they ever senseless, really?

Here are some beauties, each made by someone's "act". These are pictures from Lark Books' 500 Pitchers. There's a wonderful series of 500_______.


Wow!



This is the one! I've had fun trying to make pitchers with this sort of top rim. It works, wonderfully.

These are very far from senseless. They are all designed, considered, developed, worked out and practiced, I'm sure. And looked at and felt. What could make something senseless? Nature, I think. And the beauty nature makes, that's senseless, but often gorgeous to our senses.





Like the art that clouds make on this building?

Sometimes we, sensibly, sensitively,  try to make things that have that natural beauty. Here's one, beautiful. But no such thing as a human senseless act of beauty.
