The Portrait
What Xochitl asks of its bearer
At the opening of Xochitl stands Fa: an outward self that articulates. Through the interior, Alif brings an originary axis at the interior; Lam brings an interior bound by love and attachment. These are the forces that shape the inner life. The Ra resolves the name: the life resolves through motion. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until flower is not what the name says but what the life shows.
