The Portrait

What Mamdouh asks of its bearer

What carries Mamdouh into the world is Meem: an outward self made of love. At the interior, Meem brings an interior of love and water; Dal brings an interior of return. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The Ha (soft) resolves the name: the life closes in living presence. The work of the name is to let praised live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
