“Be melting snow—wash yourself of yourself.”
— Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
Much of what feels heavy in us is not pain itself, but the effort of holding a fixed shape. We may cling to roles, opinions, and stories because they give us a sense of solidity. And yet, what is alive is always moving.
Sometimes release doesn’t come through force or insight, but through softening. A willingness to loosen our grip just enough to let something flow again. What melts is not what matters most, but what had grown rigid around it.
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.
