The 52:52:52 project, launching both on this site and on social media in early 2024 will help you address 52 issues with 52 responses over 52 weeks.

A Mundane Comedy is Dominic Kelleher's new book, which will be published in mid 2024. The introduction is available here and further extracts will appear on this site and on social media in the coming months.

This site addresses what's changing, in our own lives, in our organisations, and in wider society. You'll learn about key changes across more than 150 areas, ranging from ageing and time, through nature and animals, to kindness and love...and very much else inbetween.

Halcyon's aim is to help you reflect on how you can better deal with related change in your own life.

Flow

Quote 956

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards; they will be dissipated, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence - Maria Edgeworth

Quote 955

The work of art is above all a process of creation; it is never experienced as a mere product - Paul Klee

Quote 954

The work of art is above all a process of creation, it is never experienced as a mere product - Paul Klee

Quote 953

The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fibre and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing ? John Muir

Quote 952

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed - Albert Einstein

Quote 951

People in flow may be sewing up a storm, doing brain surgery, playing a musical instrument or working a hard puzzle with their child. The impact is the same: A life of many activities in flow is likely to be a life of great satisfaction. And you don't have to be a hotshot to get there - Elias, Marily (2002): Psychologists now know what makes people happy, USA Today", 12th.Dec..2002.

Quote 950

Our sense of self disappears when involved in such tasks and paradoxically the sense of self emerges as strengthened after the task is completed. Time perception is altered during flow experiences. Hours can pass in what seem to be minutes and minutes can seem like hours - Alan Carr, Positive Psychology - the Science of Happiness and Human Strengths

Quote 949

Our epoch is one of confrontation between beliefs from the past and new requirements of the future - Robert Muller

Quote 948

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar - Helen Keller

Quote 947

Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. - Martin Luther King, Jr
