Wonderful tribute Kerry. I always enjoyed his whimsical and often poignant words and pictures -- encountered on his calendars in so homes, and on the back of toilet doors xxx
Oh Kerry, what a beautiful tribute to a very special human being...and your friend. I'm so sorry for your loss, but so grateful for your stories about Leunig, and the many examples of his humble grateful living. And I have to say that I want to give that student of yours a big hug for so sweetly (and competently) coming to your rescue with such grace, humor, and understanding. You taught him well!
Thank you Margaret. Yes, wasn't that student wonderful. I treasure the relationship I had with so many of my students over the years, where we all learned how to be human and vulnerable together - especially as they prepared to get ready for the very tender craft of teaching.
I’ve only just happened by
I thank you
Your words met mine

His slow time melted over me

How special to have known Michael Leunig. A sad time for you. Loved your story of the first meeting, and your insights.
Yes, very special and very blessed (and now very sad). Thank you Lou
My family send me Leunig calendars every year. What a gentle genius.
