The image of a blue planet floating in deep space, glowing like the full moon on a clear night, brought home powerfully to me the recognition that we are indeed all members of a single family sharing one little house. I was flooded with the feeling of how ridiculous are the various disagreements and squabbles within the human family. I saw how futile it is to cling so tenaciously to the differences that divide us. From this perspective one feels the fragility, the vulnerability of our planet and its limited occupation of a small orbit sandwiched between Venus and Mars in the vast infinity of space. If we do not look after this home, what else are we charged to do on this earth?”<br/><br/> - <em>“The Universe In A Single Atom” -The Dalai Lama</em>http://alanscarpa.com/post/419967887http://alanscarpa.com/post/419967887Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:09:58 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxx7vq0K9j1qzs9oco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I grew a goatee cause I thought it would be funny.  And yep, it turned out that it was ridiculous.  Only a select few got to see this monster in action.</p>http://alanscarpa.com/post/392283079http://alanscarpa.com/post/392283079Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:11:50 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxw8cbTTEk1qzs9oco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This was my valentine.  Year - 2004.</p>http://alanscarpa.com/post/391046360http://alanscarpa.com/post/391046360Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:24:11 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxn3zstGRA1qzs9oco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My sister’s little doggies can’t stand to be away from her.
