"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."
— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
There may be a wish, sometimes, that love — once found — would simply remain. That enough effort spent in the right places would produce something stable and secure. But Le Guin's image of bread suggests something living and perishable, something that asks to be returned to. Not as failure, but as the nature of the thing itself.
This applies inward too. The openness we sometimes find in ourselves — the moments of less fear, more softness — may not stay put either. It might need to be remade. Not forced back into existence, but allowed again, returned to. That remaking may not look dramatic. It might be a pause before reacting, a willingness to listen again, a small turn toward something warmer than habit.
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.
