About Sharran (Windwalker)...



Sharran is a "natural" kind of natural person. For example, he won't drive a car, preferring to walk or bicycle wherever he goes, and molding the procurement of his simple needs around these two basic modes of transportation. Hence, Sharran senses much more of the world around him than do most people. This keen environmental awareness is reflected in much of his poetry, giving it poignancy and freshness.

A lover, a philosopher, a loner... a misfit in man's system of orderly chaos, Sharran interprets many of our inner thoughts about ourselves and our thorny relationship to our natural environment. He forces us to ask questions about where our lust to convert natural resources into money and to control everything we touch, is leading us.

Add his sense of humour and you see Sharran as a kind of throw-back to the days of the lonely traveling troubadours, telling stories of adventure and love, with themselves as the perennial observers, often denied personal involvement in the dramas they so vividly described, filling their own emptiness with vicarious experiences through words and passing relationships; struggling for existence with this most mis-understood and under-valued gift which does so much to balance an otherwise shallow experience of human life.
