The Portrait
What Mouhamadou asks of its bearer
What carries Mouhamadou into the world is Meem: an outward self made of love. Inside the name, Ha (soft) brings an interior of life and breath; Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are the inward currents the name carries. Mouhamadou ends in Dal — the life resolves through guidance and return. What this asks of him: to let muhammad pass through this whole sequence — opening, interior, close — until it is no longer a label but a way of being.
