While running today, something occurred to me. Been on this nearing presence thing for the last week or so as should be obvious from the postings and all. I'm not sure if I ever considered the center of the whole nearing business. But it's not Him drawing closer, but vv. Much like Galileo correcting the man-centered universe myth, the running did the (non) blasphemy against inner dogma.
The hymns have it right (Nearer my God and Jesus, Draw Me Close as two examples). His path is fixed. The whole separation is not a withdrawal by Him but a wandering by us. The whole nearing presence thing is us relocating the lost.
