The Portrait

What Mouhamed asks of its bearer

The first letter of Mouhamed is Meem — an outward self made of love. Beneath the surface, Ha (soft) brings an interior of life and breath; Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are the hidden weathers of the name. Mouhamed 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.
