- Yesterday the International Court of Justice called for the arrest of Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas for war crimes... Joe Biden was outraged, Netanyahu disgusted - which is kind of hilarious - they agree with court only when it suits them.
- So I went to Stand for Peace in la Place Capitole, as usual, between 12h and 13h. I took my posture, focused on my breathing, and practiced the Spectacular art of doing nothing for 10 minutes (thank you Martin Aylward for that this morning!).
- Then people started stopping, staring, taking photos, coming up to chat.
- I met Surya from India, A Kurdish man, some Spanish tourists, some young students....
- I realised that nearly all humans are Peace lovers. But we take it for granted. Of course all these people are happy that at the moment here in France for example we live in relative peace. But if it's taken away how we would miss it and yearn for the days of peace to come back. Much like our ability to walk, see, hear, we would only miss these incredible faculties if they were taken away.
- There really is no excuse to do nothing in a time of literal genocide.
- My last day of this action will be the 26th June which is the day my daughter Dixie Lu does her final exam at school here in Toulouse. This adventure will come to an end.
- Come Stand for Peace with me tomorrow in la Place Capitole, 12h - 13h.
LOVE AND PEACE for all.

The last words of Gautama the Buddha on the earth were:
Be a light unto yourself.
Do not follow others, do not imitate, because imitation, following, creates stupidity.
You are born with a tremendous possibility of intelligence. You are born with a light within you.
Listen to the still, small voice within, and that will guide you. Nobody else can guide you, nobody else can become a model for your life, because you are unique. Nobody has there been ever who was exactly like you, and nobody is ever going to be there again who will be exactly like you.
This is your glory, your grandeur -- that you are utterly irreplaceable, that you are just yourself and nobody else.

(ENGLISH BELOW)

Je me suis rendu compte que cette "Debout pour la paix" est aussi une sorte de 'performance de rue', c'est pourquoi j'ai porté aujourd'hui ma soutane de prêtre pour la 1ère fois. Je me suis tenu plus ou moins au milieu de la Place Capitole et j'ai eu des interactions formidables, notamment un 'group hug' avec des étudiants. Une femme m'a dit que ce que je faisais était comme une goutte d'eau, mais que l'océan était fait de gouttes d'eau. J'ai rencontré un journaliste photographe (qui a pris cette photo) et une foule d'autres personnes - certaines curieuses, d'autres désespérées de faire quelque chose pour la paix.
Demain, je suis en studio d'enregistrement et la prochaine "Debout pour la paix" aura lieu le jeudi 11/01/24 au centre de la Place Capitole. Cela fait maintenant partie de ma routine quotidienne ❤🙏☮️

I realised that this 'Standing for Peace' is also a kind of street performance so today I wore my priest's cassock for the first time - I realised I need to up my game! I stood more or less in the middle of la Place Capitole and had some great interactions including a group hug with a bunch of students. One woman said what I was doing was like a drop - but that the ocean is made of drops. I met a photo journalist (who took this photo), and a host of other people - some curious, some desperate to do something for peace.
Tomorrow I'm in the recording studio so the next 'Standing for Peace' will be Thursday 11/01/24 in the centre of Place Capitole. It's part of my daily routine now ❤🙏☮️
