"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein


The tear is a reflection of the sorrow I feel for all the insanity I see humanity involved in; insanity that is totally unnecessary.

Within the tear is the word one, representing the universal law of all life being connected; we are all 'one.'

As much as I wanted this tattoo and loved it after it was done, I was not completely happy with it, it was incomplete. It needed balance and that spawned my next tattoo...
