Meet Shane Sunn of Sunn Ranch
The Bear, by William Faulkner describes how the repetitive hunt for ‘Ole Ben’, a wily old black bear, transformed young Isaac McCaslin. Trips, you might even call them journeys, or quests, are imbued with the capacity to change the pilgrim. But first you must conceive a fish, a goal, a place, a celestial city enough to set out and cast your bait on the water. Pilgrims who persevere to the end receive the reward. My purpose is to help my clients experience earth’s beauty, mystery, power, and bounty and thus catch glimpses and tastes of the world to come.
The Rev. Shane Sunn grew up in Ackerman, Mississippi surrounded by hunters, fishers and story tellers. For thirty years, Shane employed his gifts as a Presbyterian minister serving others, grabbling with words, telling stories, and writing sermons. Perhaps it was inevitable his journey would finally lead to serving others through guiding, writing, and tellings stories, some old, others new, and some yet to come.
About Sunn Ranch
