The Portrait
What Ritaj asks of its bearer
At the opening of Ritaj stands Ra: an outward self in motion. Through the interior, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Ta brings an interior of becoming. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The Jeem resolves the name: the life resolves into a beautiful, embodied form. The whole sequence is one instruction: let the highest door of paradise be the practice, not the label.
