“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
— Annie Dillard, The Writing Life
The spiritual life does not unfold somewhere else. It unfolds here — in the texture of the day we are actually living. The ego looks for defining moments, for clarity, for a sense of arrival. But transformation is usually quieter than that. It reveals itself in the way we respond to interruption, in how we hold disagreement, in whether we choose defensiveness or patience.
Spiritual awakening doesn’t usually feel like fireworks. It feels like remembering. Remembering to listen. Remembering to soften. Remembering that you’re not separate from the people in front of you. And when you forget — which you will — you come back again. Not because you should, but because it feels more true. Over time, the returning itself becomes the path.
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.
