Webs, Nets and Tapestries – Symbols of the Whole Rev Ernie Mills
Our last, but not least, UU Principle is “the interdependent web of existence of which we are a part.” Notice the two last words “a part,” rather than the single word, “apart.”
We are learning each day that humans are not the free standing, autonomous, independent beings that exist apart from the web of existence. Yet for many centuries this has been our guiding (misguided) myth. The sooner we not only acknowledge this, but start to live it in our daily lives and lifestyles, the better off we will be and the better our chances are of saving our planet.
We will delve into this progressive consciousness and see if we can come up with ways to live it out.
