Connecting spirituality and the environment:Habitat vs. Habitus.
"The place where we live tells us who we are- how we relate to people, to the larger world around us, even to God" There are two different ways that we can connect with our landscape. We can see it as a habitat,which is a conventional way of seeing landscape.It becomes nothing but background scenery.In other words the landscape is overlooked. But habitus, is admiring and experiencing the landscape around you to find wholeness. Habitus is not conventional, it is not community, and it is not merely habitat.One relies on natural instincts and feelings, leaving the concious world behind.
