“Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.” — Mary Oliver

I highly recommend watching the video below, but first I learned a new term — wetware. Do you know it? I didn’t; I headed on over to a non-AI source on the Internet and pulled screenshots for you on the definition. Read them over before clicking on the YouTube below.

Here is another definition from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wetware

Franz Marc’s Blue Horses, by Mary Oliver

I step into the painting of the four blue horses.I am not even surprised that I can do this.

One of the horses walks towards me.His blue nose noses me lightly. I put my armover his blue mane, not holding on, justcommingling.He allows me my pleasure.Franz Marc died a young man, shrapnel in his brain.I would rather die than try to explain to the blue horseswhat war is.They would either faint in horror, or simplyfind it impossible to believe.I do not know how to thank you, Franz Marc.Maybe our world will grow kinder eventually.Maybe the desire to make something beautifulis the piece of God that is inside each of us.Now all four horses have come closer,are bending their faces toward meas if they have secrets to tell.I don’t expect them to speak, and they don’t.If being so beautiful isn’t enough, whatcould they possibly say?​

In the bleak winter of 1916, in the thickest darkness of World War I, several enormous canvases dappled in pointillist patterns of color appeared across the French countryside, …The painted tarps were military camouflage, designed to conceal artillery from aerial observation — the work of the young German painter, printmaker, and Expressionist pioneer Franz Marc (February 8, 1880–March 4, 1916), who had devoted himself to parting the veil of appearances with art in order to “look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature.”
