Jack Wolf's poems are products of a life rich in experiences of war, love and renunciation, amid many of the world's diverse seasons and horizons. He has studied the old and new masters, especially those of his twentieth century, then expressed his own unique poetic voice. His rare lyrical gift, and his ability to paint simple and complex pictures with words, suggest his other great talent: to paint with brushes. -- John K. Cooley, American foreign correspondent and author. Wolf's poetry samples the dreams of a young boy, the ever changing scenes of maturity, and the realizations of our later years. Each is a fresh and entertaining look at the times of our lives. -- Harry L. Sandberg, Retired Research Director from McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Company.

A great storyteller, when he puts his thoughts into verse, he takes you from thepeaceful countryside into quiet suburbia and into the bustling cities. What an incrediblejourney! -- Alan Ramsay, bass guitarist with Joey T and The Formula band. This book, Reflections on the Golden River -- A jewel. Precisely cut. Finely set. -- SilverStar, Cherokee Nation.

From words of prophecy made in earlier times, to the newsfeeds of the today's internet, more and more people are becoming aware of the changes taking place in the world. The old and much abused industrial model, driven largely by human ignorance and greed, has placed the future of both humankind and the Earth herself on a path to a questionable future. But there is hope. Over the past handful of decades, a great many people have been awakening to the realities of the world but as well, also hearing - and heeding - the call from the wisdom that lies in the heart of all human beings. It is a call to an older way, a better way; a way of returning to the realms of deeper spirit; of magic and of tribe. As individuals and as groups, those who have heard this call of the heart are rising to once again take their place as true human beings: as stewards of the land. Canadian author Jack Wolf brings us a collection of stories from one such group of Earth-stewards. He does so with the desire that what he shares will kindle the fires of awakening in the hearts and minds of those who are ready for the return of the primal spark-of-hope. Told in the narrative form, The Thornish Path, is intended to provide the reader with an intimate glimpse into the workings and relationships found within this formerly secret society. It is also intended as an introduction to this unique tradition for those who may wish to explore further. Thornish people believe that they are but one tradition of many emerging now, into the modern world in order to be of assistance in the ongoing battle to heal the Earth, and in the words of Jack Wolf: "The time has come for the folk of the green to come into their own - as protectors and managers of the Earth, not the despoilers of it."

The year is 1750. Tristan Hart, precociously talented student of medicine practising under the legendary Dr William Hunter. His obsession is the nature of pain and preventing it; the relationship between mind and matter and the existence of God.
