Where Is God Not?

I had a wonderful image that helps me see the presence of God more clearly. Imagine, if you will, sinking down into a large enough body of water so that you are submerged fully and not touching anything. Breathing is no issue, so relax and just feel the water all around you. It touches you completely, leaving no space uncovered. Such is the nature of water, eh? And why not also God? Just as we cannot push water away from us to create a place where the water is not, so it is with God, I believe. If indeed we feel an absence, I believe that to be only illusion, not reality.
