The Portrait

What Safae asks of its bearer

Safae opens with Sad — an outward self of truth. At the interior, Fa brings an interior that articulates; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The Alif resolves the name: everything resolves back to the source. The whole sequence is one instruction: let purity be the practice, not the label.
