"For all that has been—thanks. For all that shall be—yes."
— Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings
Two short lines. Two directions. Neither comes easily when self-will is running things. Looking back, there may be regret, or a wish that things had unfolded differently. Looking forward, the pull to manage and secure what's coming can be strong. Hammarskjöld's words don't resolve that tension. They may simply suggest a different way of standing in time.
Gratitude for the past doesn't require that it was easy. Openness to the future doesn't require certainty about what's ahead. These two words — thanks, yes — may be less about feeling and more about posture. A willingness to stop arguing with what has been, and stop bracing against what hasn't arrived yet.
Egos Anonymous is offered in an experimental spirit—an invitation to see whether there’s interest in a shared way of working with ego, self-will, and control. The language, structure, and practices are still forming and are meant to grow through lived experience.
This is a soft launch. The hope is to eventually gather a year of reflections into a book, but for now they’re simply being shared—one day at a time—to see what resonates.
If something feels useful, confusing, incomplete, or off, feedback is welcome and genuinely appreciated. This work is meant to be shaped together.
