I have re fallen in love with Luenig.
I have always found prayer a really hard thing but I continue to struggle with and at the moment I have re-fallen in love with Luenig book a common prayer. it is so helpful to me.
‘A man kneels before a duck in a sincere attempt to to talk with it. This a clear depiction of irrational behavour and an important aspect of prayer. The act of kneeling symbolises humility. The upright stance has been abandoned because of the human attitudes and qualities it represents: power, stature, control, rationality, worldliness, pride and ego. The kneeling man knows as everbody does that a proud and upright man can not talk to a duck.’
Cute. I love Leunig. And I love ducks.
There’s a new Leunig book coming out in November called “When I Talk To You – A Cartoonist Talks to God”. It’s a little hardback, thought you might like to know.
how interesting
Mark here (Kaia’s fiancee). I love Leunig. My favourite is the Prayer Tree. I really appreciate his down-to-earth way of praying. it’s refreshing.
