"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.
