"To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you."
— Joy Harjo, Eagle Poem
This image of prayer asks almost nothing of the intellect and everything of presence. There is no correct posture, no adequate vocabulary, no required level of belief. The opening Harjo describes is less like a technique and more like a turning—a willingness to be permeable to what surrounds us.
Many of us carry a private, carefully curated version of ourselves everywhere we go. Prayer, in this sense, may not be about speaking to something distant. It may be closer to allowing the inner and the outer to be less separate for a moment. The one whole voice she names may already be present—waiting, perhaps, for less management and more sky.
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.
