What Diab asks of its bearer

At the opening of Diab stands Dad: an outward self bound to necessity. At the interior, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The Ba resolves the name: the life resolves toward what is built and inhabited. The whole sequence is one instruction: let wolves be the practice, not the label.
