Primary metaphor

Discerning the meaning of this letter is a bit more difficult since the gimel is the only letter with the lower diagonal stroke. Other letter which have Y's in them represent a joining of holiness and love, whereas this one in inverted. Using that principle the first thing coming from heaven was split into holiness and grace. The holiness hits the point of the cross and is satisfied. The diagonal hits the baseline of the Square Text Template somewhere in the middle.

This structure is suggestive that that first creative word did the work, and somewhere in the middle of mankind, perhaps in numbers , perhaps in time, he poured out his love. Traditionally, the gimel has meant a rich man chasing after a poor man. This is interesting as the word 'gimel means camel. And when a rich man chased Jesus, the poor man, Jesus made a riddle of a camel.

Experimentally, pursue appears to work well. God satisfied his own holiness and pursued man with his love.
