UU PRINCIPLE #7:  OUR WORLD OF WONDER

We humans live an interdependent life with numerous other organisms on a planet that is truly a world of wonder. Yet, many of us are seldom aware of the world beyond our immediate influence and even if we are aware, we may not understand how dependent we are on much of that world. Thus, our world of wonder is increasingly a world in peril.
