The Prayer Tree
"A person kneels to contemplate a tree and to reflect upon the troubles and joys of life. The person imagines mornings and evenings in a great forest of prayers, swarming and teeming with life. The person is learning how to pray." Michael Leunig.
A cartoonist talks to God.
In 1989, cartoonist Michael Leunig began an experiment. Asked to produce a weekly cartoon for Sunday Age, Australia, he remembers wondering if newspapers might carry some small spiritual message of consolation as a tiny reparation for the enormous anxiety and distress they can create. Since then, the two collections, A Common Prayer and The Prayer Tree, have brought his unique humour and intriguing drawings to a wide public across the world.
The Prayer Tree explores a person kneeling to contemplate a tree and reflect upon the troubles and joys of life. The person imagines mornings and evenings in a great forest of prayers, swarming and teeming with life. The person is learning how to pray. -Michael Leunig
