This is a great interview with Micheal Leunig. I love the way he talks about joy in the simple things of life. If you've seen his cartoons, (There's one here) they have the most wonderful etheral beauty and simplicity.
Here's a small extract from the interview.
I think it's the natural condition of life that we are lost from God or beauty much of the time. Much of the time we struggle for our faith or our belief or something that comforts us. I have now learned to accept that. I once thought it was a failure of my religious impulse that I could not hang on to God for meaning. I felt it was a failing. Now I tend to see it as part of the natural condition which must be stayed with. But it passes and we move in and out of it. If we could be in the divine state all the time it would all be just too easy!
