I myself hate that old Hemingwayesque paradigm of the writer as prizefighter and I have tried hard to create an alternate one for myself.

The whole of God is present at every point in space at the same time. Take time to meditate on this great idea. In other words, God doesn't come and go.

God is always present, totally present - as a Presence.
