    These poems and songs are excerpted from the novel "Spirit Thorn, a Tale of Parallel Worlds." Zacharias O'Bryan invites you to be his guest in a world where music, life and the swirl of atomic particles are one. Molly Greenfingers (the monster), Kestrelle (the young being from another dimension) and Braden Swift (the human teen boy) will be your guides.

    Author

    Zacharias O'Bryan

    For half a century Zacharias O’Bryan has captured listeners’ imagination with his stage plays, his fireside tales and his songs of adventure. The grass-grown, tumbled-stone castles of Ireland, the dark-chambered Toltec tombs of southern Mexico, the Anasazi cliff dwellings of the American Southwest—these are lands that speak to O’Bryan. And now, rafting into a parallel universe via the roadless river canyons of Southern Oregon, you would be wise to believe his words: The greatest story of all time taps at our window. It begs us to participate.
