Brilliant Mycelium
7th Principle of Unitarian Universalism:
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
The music video above is "Brilliant Mycelium" by Beautiful Chorus with footage by Dr. Patrick Hickey. Composed as “the voice of mycelium,” the song includes rich four-part a cappella harmonies that interweave with profound lyrics.
"We’re beneath your surface
an underground universe that’s
thriving fully alive
sensitive resilient
we’re everywhere we’re
Brilliant Mycelium
We dive go deeper
branch out sustain life feel your
every step we carry nutrients
sentient and nourishing
we’re elegant and flourishing
Have you vision
are you listening
can you feel us
share our vision"
Heart Tip
The beauty of the music and images remind us of the nature of things - we are interconnected and interdependent whether we know it or not. What other things remind you of the web of existence? How does it feel to realize that we can learn from the wisdom of fungi?
