"Whatever inhabits me at this moment/ goes on doing what I do' proclaims one of Richard's densely textured interrogations of the universe. And indeed that universe is so palpable here because created as much as discovered by an intelligence insatiable in its inquisitions and disquisitions. The reigning paradox of Habitations is that, searching for a domicile, it reveals home's continuous presence in any moment of Richard's miraculous existence." -Peter Cooley, author of Sacred Conversations.
