Wes "Scoop" Nisker is an award-winning broadcast journalist and commentator, a renowned Buddhist meditation teacher, a best-selling author, and a captivating performer. This collection of his writing brims with the insight, humor, and wisdom for which he is famous. Compiling for the first time Wes's best-known essays as well as recent and never before published work, this book takes readers on both a cultural journey (a tour through the Sixties, the modern environmental movement, the surge of Buddhism in the West) and a more personal one, exploring the motivation behind his own as well as humanity's spiritual searching. A Note From Scoop: "Friends, if you believe that you have sinned, or that you are seriously flawed as a human being, I am happy to toil you that salvation has arrived. It is the story of evolution, revealing that we were all created out of the shape shifting stream of life as it danced with ever-changing Earth conditions and natural phenomena. You did not choose to have your brain and nervous system or your instincts for bonding and self-preservation any more than you chose to have thumbs. We can take no credit or blame for who we are. In the eyes of Mother Nature we are all forgiven. Accept it! You are not your fault." Book jacket.
