This is a book of prayerful musings and poetry, which encompass a range of experiences and emotions. Leunig's style is humble, quirky and succinct, sometimes with cute witticisms, sometimes with peacful consoling, sometimes with ecstatic, childlike joy or blunt pain.
Leunig allows the everyday life to speak profoundly into his spirituality (a great example is the symbol of the duck, which represents humble spirituality). He doesn't allow his prayer life to remove him from the realities of the world, and yet refuses to let the realities of the world remove him from a state of prayer, either.
This book is a great education in prayer.
