As the father of three adult children, I am inspired to envision a more sustainable future. As the child of parents involved with the community, I am inspired to see the past as giving us choices rather than locking us in. As for the present, I'm enjoying that; learning, volunteering and working. Currently, I am a healing bodyworker (licensed massage therapist) working in an integrative medicine program. I often work with people living with cancer and chronic pain. I also have degrees in law and public health, with a lot of experience with environmental health and policy issues as well as writing and advising nonprofits. In the 1980's and 1990's I was a national advocate for holistic health and recognition of indoor and outdoor toxic chemical problems and the rights of people to choose nontoxic environments. I am in the process of trying to get a book published. "Divine Primates: Hope for Our Stressed-Out Species" (http://www.divineprimates.com) is about human nature and how we can help heal our planet by dropping some of our illusions about our humans and developing greater awareness of our strengths and needs. You can read more about it at the Human Primates group here on Ode Online. It is certainly audacious to write about one's own species, so I could use help and support on this project to create a more sustainable culture. I presented at the 2007 World Future Society meeting in Minneapolisn at their July 2008 conference in Washington, D.C., and will be speaking at WorldFuture2009 in Chicago this July. I have blogs at zaadz, http://www.divineprimate.zaadz.com/blog and www.divineprimates.blogspot.com, and my background is visible at http://www.linkedin.com/in/earon. I also have a website about my massage practice, etc. http://www.earondavis.com. One of my current efforts is to teach didgeridoo classes for health. If you can read this, I guess I haven't exceeded the 3,000 character limit! WooooHooooo!
MY MESSAGES:

Hi Earon,

I love nature in general, not really a specific preference for primates although I do consider them our family as a species. One of my main interests is human development and eventually human evolution. In that sense I think that knowing more about primates, who are the reflection of our own past in a certain way, can help to draw conclusions as to our own future.

What I think about our species, past, present and specially future is a lot! Only some months ago I discovered that my major interests at the end all come together under a general label of: Human Progress. That is both in the individual sense as in the collective sense. If development, and thus human progress, goes the sustainable way then we could even grow towards Human Evolution. There are still a lot of problems to overcome though. Recently I have made a start to write down my thoughts in a first effort to organize them, at the same time I started to discover Social Websites and blogs. As a result my vision on things is written in an unstructured way, only small part of it and scattered around several places. I reckon the most condensed version is the one at darwincontinued.blogspot.com if you think it's interesting I'll keep you posted on updates there or somewhere else. Let me know!

Happy Obama Day ;-)
