This is an excellent companion text to the chapter "Time" in Adam Miller's ORIGINAL GRACE which I just read last night. His seafloor-magma metaphor positing ongoing creation is a) excellent on its own but also b) reshapes now in a way similar to what Rachel and Steven are arguing here. Suffering, beauty, us, God---all these things are happening now. And that's wonderful.
