The Portrait
What Kaysan asks of its bearer
The first letter of Kaysan is Kaf — an outward self that holds and contains. Inside the name, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Seen brings an interior of asking. These are the forces that shape the inner life. The closing letter is Nun: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until wise, alert is not what the name says but what the life shows.
