Street Organist. Paris, France.

“While
in Paris, everyone meets with something unexpected that moves to
tears. I saw this scene (with the old street organist and his
‘troupe’, a dog and a cat in the cradle) at the Grant Boulevards
that stretch out near the Notre Dame Cathedral (recently damaged
by fire). These simple words, “Peace and Love. No War”, appeal
to us, to passers-by, who are always in a hurry to spend time
searching for wonders. These powerful words have never been
heard by the world ‘rulers’.”
