The Portrait
What Lut asks of its bearer
The reading of Lut begins with Lam: an outward self that binds and attaches. At the interior, Waw brings an interior that connects. These are the hidden weathers of the name. And Lut closes on Ta: the life resolves into what is firm and grounded. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until lot is not what the name says but what the life shows.
