Sorry about taking so long, last month was a bit busy. Among other things, I gave a sermon about druidry last week, so I spent a good part of the last month finishing it.

The seventh principle of Unitarian Universalism is "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part". This one is likely the easiest of the seven to relate to druidry.

Reverence for nature is a core part of druidry, so is connection to everything. For me, everything has a spirit and honoring those spirits is important. People, community, the environment, all of creation is connected to and is in relationship with everything else. Humans need to stop separating ourselves from nature and each other.

Druids, and pagans in general, revere mother earth and try to live in harmony with her. UU's tend to do the same, though many would word it differently. I believe the seventh principle calls us all to live in community with the whole of our world. We are a part of it and a part of nature. We are not masters of either and need to stop acting like we are. We should be caretakers of this home of ours. As a part of nature, humans are no more nor less deserving of respect than anything else.
