The Portrait
What Rimah asks of its bearer
What carries Rimah into the world is Ra: an outward self in motion. Beneath the surface, Meem brings an interior of love and water; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. Rimah ends in Ha (soft) — the life closes in living presence. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until spears is not what the name says but what the life shows.
