Lane shares something from Gabriel
Marcel, “An individual is not distinct from his place; he is that place.” To me
this is saying that we are do not belong to a place but are a piece of the
place as a whole. However, what happens when a person changes place? When I was
younger I moved from a rural place to an urban area and at first I was
definitely distinct from that place. Over time I grew accustom to the new area
and would possibly then say I was that place. This left me wondering if Lane
meant once you have been somewhere for a while you are that place or if he
believes someone instantly takes becomes part of a place.
