“The heart is not like a box that gets filled up. It expands in size the more you love.”
— David Whyte
Much of our effort can come from the assumption that love is scarce—that it has to be protected, rationed, or earned. For some of us, guarding becomes a way of staying safe: holding back, bracing, keeping a little distance. Over time, this posture can become so familiar that we barely notice it.
Love does not diminish with use; it grows through expression. When defenses loosen even slightly—when we listen more fully, stay present a moment longer, or allow ourselves to be affected—we may discover that the heart has more room than we expected. What expands is not effort, but capacity.
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.
