Wes Nisker
Wes Nisker“[This generation – Baby Boomers – has had so many spiritual options.] It’s part of the privilege of living in this time: You have all the wisdom of all these cultures available to you. We were the first mass population in the modern world to be college educated, skeptical, idealistic and free. Being free to be who you are.The only problem is, we have not figured out who we are yet!”
– Wes Nisker, 2003
