"I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung."
— Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali
There is something quietly familiar in this image. The constant preparing—the adjusting, the getting ready, the sense that conditions are not quite right yet for the real thing to begin. Self-will can dress itself as discernment or humility: not yet, not ready, one more thing to sort out first. Meanwhile the days accumulate.
The song Tagore points toward may not require perfect preparation. It may simply require less insistence on getting the instrument exactly right before beginning. Whatever is alive in us—unpolished, uncertain, incomplete—may already be closer to the real thing than the version we are still rehearsing.
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.
