No Missing Links And Other Essays

Biographie de Julie R Butler

I am child of Colorful Colorado and a citizen of the world. I am always searching for truths that we can all live by, which celebrate diversity, respect individuality, and promote real democracy. I love to play with language, images, and ideas. I believe that knowledge does set us free, and that the manipulation of knowledge and fear is a large part of what has held humanity back from solving problems that are enormous, but not unsolvable through patient perseverance.
I see the universe as infinitely interconnected and incomprehensibly complex, but not in and of itself incomprehensible. After spending several decades living a nomadic lifestyle while traveling the roads of North and Central America with my life partner followed by seven years living in South America (Uruguay and Argentina) and then returning to Central Mexico until his death in 2018, I have landed back in Colorado, where I currently split my time between Denver and the San Luis Valley.
My essays and the occasional poem can be found at the following locations:The philosophy anthology, "What Do You Believe?" (edited by Derek Beres Brooklyn, NY: Outside the Box Publishing, 2009)."Connectively Speaking"(http://connectivelyspeaking.blogspot.com), my social issues blog [which, as a set of observations from more than a decade ago, is, I believe, pretty prescient.]"we fear what we don't understand" (http://julierbutler.blogspot.com), my older socio-political blog.
