Have been in a process of deepening and formation every day since then.

The experiment is in its first day. Will be updating throughout. And yeah, the tradition is that you don’t have to be as careful with the word “God” in a vernacular language as you do with the Hebrew tetragrammaton, but I like to drop the vowel to remind myself to not be casual, to not lose sight of G-d’s mysteriousness.

And by the way, why is it necessary to write God’s name without the O? After all, you are writing in English, the letter O has no religious significance?
