The Portrait
What Tayyaba asks of its bearer
The first letter of Tayyaba is Ta — a grounded outward self. Through the interior, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Ba brings an interior that holds and shelters. These are the forces that shape the inner life. The closing letter is Alif: everything resolves back to the source. The work of the name is to let pure, good live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
