Tyler Million - Lane's description of habitat and habitus
Lane describes the difference in habitat and habitus to be the difference between where one lives and how one practices the habit of being. Another way to say this would be deference between where we live and where we are alive. To me this has applications throughout much of my life. My Mother works for the state department so when I was younger we would get sent overseas every couple years, so where I was hardly every felt like “home”. Now that I think back to where I usually found myself while living overseas, it was usually natural environments. When I lived in Germany I would wonder the forests, when I lived in Kenya I would walk around peoples gardens or the forest near my school, and when I’m here in the states I always went sailing.
