The Portrait
What Noman asks of its bearer
At the opening of Noman stands Nun: an outward self with depth. At the interior, Ain brings an interior of seeing; Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The closing letter is Nun: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until nu'man is not what the name says but what the life shows.
