The Portrait
What Kheireddine asks of its bearer
Kheireddine opens with Kha — an outward self with hidden depth. At the interior, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum. These are the forces that shape the inner life. The Nun resolves the name: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until goodness of the religion is not what the name says but what the life shows.
Kheireddine Pacha (1822-1890) — Tunisian PM, great Muslim reformer of the 19th century.
