REVIEW-Spirit of the Wind

The journey continues.
 Darrell (WindWalker) Scarrett continues to both move and to educate others with his latest (and most personal, yet) collection of his poetry, titled "Spirit of the Wind".
 Scarrett, who grew up on the mean streets of Winnipeg, Canada in the 60's and 70's, learned how to survive abuse and poverty at a young age, rising above it all to provide hope and healing to others through his work.
 Masterpieces such as "Angels Need Hugs", and "Far, Far Away" reveal a fragility and hope that shines through the darkness and despair. Tenderness and guilt are closely intertwined in the personal "Been a Long Time"; sacred sharings contained within "One So Wise", "Walking in Spirit", and "Lay Down Gentle Warrior" reflect WindWalker's deep spiritual beliefs which have obviously created a firm foundation which he is so easily able to inspire within others. "Life in a Box of Chocolates", "Every Tear", (an ode to someone he admired) and "Scattered Leaf" mirror a rising up and soaring above the clouds of obstacles and the mundane towards better and stronger tommorrows.
 WindWalker's journey of thriving, not just surviving, is our journey as well.
